With Lorem ipsum, Stijn Dierckx won the second edition (2023) of the Vic Nees Composition Competition in the category music schools.

Nobody expected that Marina would become such a worldwide hit. Here you will find an a cappella version for SATB.

The Ballade des Proverbes is a summary of slogans, even proverbs, which together form a poem. De Nef deliberately opted for an instrumentation for baritone and bass in the male voices to make up for the unfortunately common shortage of tenors.

Paul Schollaert turned 80 in 2020.

Vecchie letrose is a villanscha. Willaert wrote fifteen of these kind of songs. Vecchie letrose is still very popular.

The text is spoken/sung by a lover who makes fun of the envious old women, under whose care the girl in love is placed.

A simple five-part motet as a vocal thanksgiving.
