Moby Dick
Nowadays, we rarely see whales on Schiermonnikoog, but the island has a long history with whaling, as evidenced by the impressive arch on the Nieuwestreek. George Crumb was inspired for Vox Balaenae by the song of the animals themselves. And an evening around the sea is not complete without Barber's melancholic Dover Beach, in which poet Matthew Arnold expresses his doubts about the world. After the break, music will be played by ex-marine Albert Roussel, an idiosyncratic figure amidst the impressionism and neo-classicism that lapped through late 19th-century France.
