Boudewijn Tarenskeen
Psalm 151
- Vocaal
A deep, contemporary take on the psalm form, Psalm 151 features modern texts from prominent Dutch writers. Performed by Cappella Amsterdam with Gerrie Meijers on the organ, the piece reflects the ongoing cultural debates around spirituality and secularism. The sound is rich and evocative, inviting both contemplation and a sense of the current societal shift.
Psalm 151 by Boudewijn Tarenskeen is a powerful work that pushes the boundaries of the psalm tradition. Motivated by the ongoing discussions around secularization and religious fundamentalism, Tarenskeen invited eight of the Netherlands' most notable writers to contribute their own interpretations of the psalm. With texts from figures such as Freek de Jonge, Hafid Bouazza, and Marieke Lucas Rijneveld, the piece reflects contemporary perspectives on spirituality, faith, and society. The performance, delivered by Cappella Amsterdam with Gerrie Meijers on organ, explores these themes in depth. Recorded live at Orgelpark Amsterdam on December 8, 2019, the work is a compelling fusion of modern poetry and sacred choral music. It challenges the traditional psalm format, providing a space for reflection and dialogue about religion’s place in today’s world.
