Drinklied

These vocal setting with a transparent  accompanement of vibraphone was composed as an entry for a composition contest.

The main lines of this composition competition were to write a vocal work based on poetry of the major Dutch poet Gerrit Krol, also using a clear and non-abstract musical language

This work was very positively assessed by the jury and got the first VSB Composition Prize in Amsterdam in 2002.

"Soms loont het glas de denker, 

 soms de poëet…."

 en heel soms… 

 de toondichter.
