About the album

The musical content of this CD proves that Christmas inspired composers for many centuries. Of course one may think in terms of a religious feast but Christmas is celebrated also as an important family feast, Santa, reindeer, sleigh and presents included. The result is a pattern-card with texts and melodies from different times and countries.

The order of the numbers 8-21 on this CD is thus arranged that it is most pleasant to the listener in respect of tonality and character of the pieces involved.

By arranging the numbers 1-7, 8-21 and 22-24 we tried to create a more or less chronological order and a successive order in styles.

Weer eens wat anders: kerstmuziek a capella
Kerstmis is al eeuwenlang een bron van inspiratie voor componisten—iets dat door middel van dit album bewezen wordt. Het Quink Vocal Ensemble brengt met dit album kerstmuziek uit verschillende tijdperken en landen ten gehore. Naast een aantal bekende kerstliederen uit onder anderen Engeland, Frankrijk, Spanje en Nederland voert het ensemble ook minder bekende liederen uit.

Het Quink Vocal Ensemble is een unieke groep van internationale allure; sinds zijn eerste concerten in 1978 mag het zich rekenen tot de top van a cappella ensembles ter wereld. Quinks uitgebreide repertoire omvat werken van de middeleeuwen tot aan hedendaagse muziek: meer dan 800 jaar muziekgeschiedenis! De veelzijdige musici van het ensemble streven naar authentieke vertolkingen van alle muziek die ze uitvoeren. Ze staan al jaren in voor het maken van nieuwe Nederlandse muziek en hebben dan ook vele premières op hun naam staan.

Das Weihnachtsfest hat von jeher Komponisten aller Jahrhunderte inspiriert. Neben einigen bekannten 'christmas carols' aus England, Spanien und Frankreich, hat das Quink Vocal Ensemble auch unbekanntere niederländische Weihnachtslieder aufgenommen. A-Capella-Gesang auf höchsten Niveau.

Quink Vocal Ensemble

Quink has, since their debut in 1978, rapidly captured a place of its own on the international concert scene. The group, consisting of five young, professional singers, has developed a special style which features many different aspects of a cappella music. Quink’s repertoire is varied, presenting a cappella music of the Renaissance and Baroque as well as works by Romantic, Impressionistic and Contemporary composers. The five singers are well-acquainted with folk song and close harmony; they mostly conclude their performances with some lighter arrangements. Quink has introduced many new works of both established and modern masters; a number of contemporary Dutch, German and American compositions have been dedicated especially to Quink. Since 1985 Quink has made several successful tours through the United...

Since 1985 Quink has made several successful tours through the United States, and in the spring of 1987, the quintet made a tour through Italy where they received a warm and enthusiastic welcome.
Nowadays the group visited the United States more than 40 times, performing over 300 concerts. Other tours included Canada, the Middle East and Far East. QUINK passes on its skills of a cappella singing by often performing in workshops and masterclasses and teaching choirs, groups and individuals.The five versatile musicians strive to authenticity the way they perform the different styles of music. If necessary QUINK joins forces with instrumental specialists of the relevant era, always in one-voice-per-part performances.
Since the recording of the Vaughan Williams/Finzi CD, QUINK has made many more CD’s, of which Challenge International Records has released the last few.
