Sweelinck’s oeuvre stands as a worthy testament to the last generation of Renaissance compositions, in which 16th-century polyphony is of paramount importance as a compositional technique. The polyphony entails an interwoven texture of equally important voices. The composer’s aim was to make each voice worthwhile in its own right. Texturally, the subtle game of consonances and dissonances governed by strict rules, plays a central role. Although Sweelinck’s vocal compositions cover many genres ranging from French psalms and French chansons to Italian madrigals and Latin motets, they are all testimony to Sweelinck’s mastery which ensured for the works high level and stylistic unity within the different genres.

The Nederlands Kamerkoor is an all-round ensemble that has mastered all facets of choral music. They perform these works in collaboration with renowned conductors and specialists such as Uwe Gronostay, Reinbert de Leeuw, Eric Ericson and Stephen Layton. Paul van Nevel studied music in Germany and The Netherlands. His in-depth research focuses on musical notation, interpretation and sources for polyphonic music composed before 1550. Paul Van Nevel has conducted research in libraries throughout France, Great Britain, Italy, Portugal and Spain.
