1987 marked the 40th anniversary of Donemus, the publisher and documentation center for Dutch contemporary music.

A selection of works by Otto Ketting, Kees van Baaren, Ton de Leeuw, Tristan Keuris, Rudolf Escher, Matthijs Vermeulen, Peter Schat.
The interviews with some of the composers and others about the works performed shall appear in the last installment of this upload of 8 separate films.
Now: "Songs of Love and eternity", °1955, for choir a cappella by Rudolf Escher (1912-1980) on poems by Emily Dickinson, performed by Omroep Kamerkoor (the Broadcasting Chamber Choir) conducted by Kenneth Montgomery.

NB The recordings were all made on VHS, therefore apologies for the occasional VHS rumble and hiss and the bad picture.
