About this exposition

Name: Veronique van der Meijden Main Subject: Classical Voice Research supervisor: Gerda van Zelm Title of Research: Art Song in Eastern Europe - An inquiry into forgotten vocal repertoire Research Question: What is the repertoire in specified countries between 1820 and now? Summary of Results Eastern Europe holds a treasure chest of art song. Unfortunately much of this repertoire has been hidden from us for a very long time. This research gives a taste of what music is available to us. The countries discussed are Poland, Greece, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, and Bosnia. Each country is represented by the most important songs and cycles. Every song contains a description of musical aspects and socio-historic context. This research was conducted by collecting scores from various sources, studying and in some cases performing them. This is supported by a research into the socio-historic context in which these songs were composed. This has resulted into a preliminary reference work for singers interested to perform this repertoire in recitals themselves. Biography: Veronique van der Meijden (1992), mezzo alto, is an exciting young artist at home in various fields of classical singing. With a deep passion in unknown repertoire she is a voice for forgotten music from Eastern Europe. Current projects include participating in the opera Koeien (by Misha Mengelberg and Guus Janssen), a duo with guitarist Jelena Ratković, and performances of Arabic art song with percussionist Sattar al-Saadi. Veronique holds a great affinity for contemporary music, regularly performing works by young composers such as Cristiano Melli, Leonie Roessler, and Peter Kerkelov. She is currently finishing her master studies with Frans Fiselier and Gemma Visser.
