Composers Jan Van der Roost and Maarten Van Ingelgem received the European Award for Choral Composers 2020/21 for their work "Amor, io fallo" and "Autumn Soils"
Composers Hans Helsen and Vigdis Hansa Elst received a special mention for their work "Sanctus Amor" and "How sweet the Moonlight".
In the first half of the twentieth century, the Lemmensinstitute (at that time still in Mechelen), published a scientific journal titled 'Musica Sacra'. In this journal, they included new compositions by contemporary composers. Chief editor Jules Van Nuffel contacted his most excellent fellow composers to write these supplements.
After taking over these publications, we are delighted to present you the first new editions! We have completely remade the publication, including a beautiful brand new cover designed by our artist Stefaan Vermeulen, we corrected errors in the old editions and had new translations made from all the Latin texts by Beatrijs De Schutter. As such, we think these editions are without a doubt an interesting addition to every choral library!
