The first album of Duo “La Serena” with Sephardic songs.
Dutch singer Lucette van den Berg does a stirring rendition of this Yiddish song, written days after the attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001.
Bashertkeyt is a very personal song for Lucette. She composed the song for the love of her life on the text of the great Yiddish poet Rokhl Korn.
Shtil di nakht iz oysgeshternt is a famous partisan song, with lyrics by Hirsh Glik to a famous Russian folk tune.
Lucette van den Berg turned this song into a choirpiece for a 4-part female choir and tuned glass. This is the second female choir piece in a cycle about courage and perseverance of a woman.
My favorite classical songs and arias that I have recorded for my own pleasure. Enjoy!!
Ir mayn líder-krants is a new written Yiddish song by Lucette van den Berg on the text of Sarah Reisen. It's about the cycle of songs you take with you in your life, in the sad, but also in the festive moments. A song of white lilies, sunny summer meadows and autumnal flowers.
"Mayn Layb" (My Body) is about becoming who you are, in balance with yourself and nature.
Accepting age as an enrichment, and finally see the purpose of life.
It is all set in a mystical fairytale style with touches of classical and popmusic.
I have started with the recording of medieval Ladino and Sephardic songs. A mix between classical and world music.
Het repertoire kan je nu horen op de CD La Serena, Sephardic Songs, behalve het nummer “Morena me Llaman” dat ik nog op souncloud heb staan
In this composition for 6-part a capella female choir with soloist, I have taken quotes from another traditional Yiddish lullaby, as well as from medieval choral singing, which evolves into a modern choral style as the text becomes more dramatic.
'Toybn shtile' is a song about longing for contact and touch. And about the confrontation with yourself when everything stops.
