Me and my Wife, version for five to six part unaccompanied chorus

(2016)

Commissioned by the Fonds Podiumkunsten for the Utrechtse Studenten Cantorij, conducted by Fokko Oldenhuis.

Me and my wife was originally written for accordion, harp, percussion and mixed choir and consists of three songs. The texts in Dutch are reviews about hotels and restaurants, found on the internet and are only in Dutch (see Dutch page).

The occassional combination of chorus with accordeon, harp and percussion has the disadvantage that the number of performances will be limited. The transcription for five to six part unaccompanied chorus was possible because of the strong independent role of the choir.
