For years, Tineke and Judith Steenbrink have championed the music of Benedictus \u00e0 Sancto Josepho (1642-1716), or Benedictus Buns from Boxmeer, literally a stone’s throw from their birthplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Judith: “Mapping your own musical landscape is incredibly exciting. We tend to think that apart from Sweelinck, the Netherlands in the 17th century was a musical morass. We are touched by the uniqueness and expressiveness of this repertoire from North Brabant.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tineke: “This album contains only a small selection from a very extensive oeuvre of Brabant’s monastic repertoire. There is still so much to discover. Moreover, 2021 will be the ‘Brabant Monastery Year’. Many monasteries celebrate their centuries-old anniversary. We at Holland Baroque will make our musical contribution to this. It is important to play this music again.”<\/p>\n\n\n
