The work of the Brabant mystic Hadewijch is the starting point for the meeting between Holland Baroque and the Bastarda Trio. What do the teachings of a Brabant medieval mystic sound like? How can ‘minne’ and ‘orewoet’ be transformed into music? <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We set to work with playfulness, fantasy and respect. In addition to Hadewijch’s own oeuvre, we draw on various sources: Gregorian chants, Renaissance music and the work of predecessor and soulmate Hildegard von Bingen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The fact that Hadewijch died long before the Baroque emerged should not be an obstacle: in Hadewijch’s time the choice of using six violins would probably have been welcomed. Symbolism, mysticism and sensuality: welcome to the world of Orewoet, Minne and Beminnen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
