In Theo's Own Words
“Geluk and Na de Bevrijding were composed in 2007 at the request of the Dutch 4 and 5 May Foundation. The lyrics are by J.C. Bloem. The songs are written for a four-part female choir (note: later arranged for SATB) and are characterized by a consonant style with reference to the very early polyphony from Ars Nova (± 1300 – 1400) in France.”
