The Nederlands Kamerkoor, founded in 1937 and one of the leading professional chamber choirs in Europe, takes the Song of Songs as its theme. The biblical love poem, known in French as Le Cantique des cantiques, is among the most sensual and lyrical texts in the Bible and has inspired composers across many centuries, from the Renaissance to the twentieth century. The choir is known for its pure, finely balanced sound and for performing everything from early polyphony to newly commissioned work. Unaccompanied or lightly accompanied choral singing of this quality rewards close listening, and this subject brings out both tenderness and rapture. The Muziekgebouw on the IJ waterfront, praised for its clear acoustics, is well suited to singing of this kind.
