Die Camerata Trajectina ist seit fast 50 Jahren das führende Ensemble für niederländische Musik vom Mittelalter bis zum Frühbarock. Mit »Revolution!« verschiebt es seine Grenzen bis ins frühe 19. Jahrhundert.

Mit diesem Album knüpft Camerata Trajectina an die aktuellen sozialen und politischen Unruhen weltweit an. Mit einem Paukenschlag verändert die Französische Revolution das Gesicht Europas. Nieder mit den reichen Autokraten, der Bürger an die Macht!

Die Jahre um 1800 sind auch für die Niederlande eine Zeit voller Konflikte, sozialer Veränderungen und politischer Umwälzungen. Die Patrioten kämpfen gegen die Royalisten, und mit der Invasion Napoleons schließt sich ihnen eine weitere ausländische Partei an.

When people are affected by a disaster, they often seek comfort. There is a long tradition of disaster songs: by singing together people sought support from each other.

Lotte Jensen (Professor of Dutch Cultural and Literary History at Radboud University in Nijmegen) investigates the emotional impact of disasters and the creation of a national identity in the Netherlands and came across songs about fires, floods, drought and insect plagues. Camerata Trajectina brings this tradition of the Dutch disaster song to life.

After 33 vocal albums, this is Camerata Trajectina’s first purely instrumental album, boasting the excellence of the ensemble’s instrumental players.

Let us open with a quote from the ensemble’s biography: “Poetry in the 16th and 17th centuries was usually set to popular melodies and was, therefore, sung! This compositional approach was practiced by famous poets such as Hooft, Bredero and Cats as well as by uneducated soldiers and sailors. Camerata Trajectina has had years of expertise in researching the source melodies underlying these texts. Its arrangements are based on musicological research and historically appropriate improvisations.” In a culture where just about everyone sang or played an instrument, the indication “To the tune of” over the text told them which melody to use. Musicians reused the top hits, both Dutch and from elsewhere in Europe, as the blueprint upon which to set new texts.
