Lloyd Time on Sundays: Concert Achthoekkoor

Sunday, 8 June 2008
at 16.00 hrs
Het Kantoor in Lloyd Hotel
free admission

The Achthoek choir was established in 1997 as a high-level amateur choir. Under conductor Jurjen Vis the choir thrives, with a repertoire stretching from 16th to the 20th century music. The choir gives public performances once or twice a year. Jurjen Vis is historian, musicologist and musician.
This summer's programme consists of 'Lieder' by Franz Schubert and Johannes Brahms. With Lennie Kerkhoff and Piet Hulsbos, piano. One of the chosen Schubert Lieder is 'An die Sonne':

Nach so vielen trüben Tagen
Send' uns wiederum einmal,
Mitleidsvoll für uns're Klagen,
Einen sanften milden Strahl.

Liebe Sonne! trink' den Regen,
Der herab zu stürzen dräut;
Deine Strahlen sind uns Segen,
Deine Blicke - Seligkeit.

Schein', ach, scheine, liebe Sonne!
Jede Freude dank' ich dir;
Alle [Geists-] und Herzenswonne,
Licht und Wärme kommt von dir!
