Opus 2

History

  • Song cycle on texts by Alice Nahon, Albrecht Rodenbach and Felix Verbeke.
  • The songs in this cycle are probably early[1] songs that Legley revised in the first half of the 1940s. Only the music of Avondliedeken has been preserved.[2]
  • On 29 November 1943, these songs were performed in the Ypres town theatre by soprano Irène Verhack and pianist Alice Vandenbroucke, which was probably the first performance.[3]
  • On the page early works, this opus number is discussed further.

Notes

  1. The first version of Avondliedeken dates from 1933.
  2. The scores may still be in the Legley family.
  3. Concert programme of Huldebetoon Victor Legley [Tribute to Victor Legley]: 1 & 2. In this concert programme Avondliedeken is called Avondklacht, but we assume this is a misprint.
  4. The original version of this song had the opus number 4 no.4.
  5. On this text Legley would later compose two more works: one for female choir and one for soprano and piano.
  6. in the first version gematigd [moderate].

  8. 8.0 8.1 8.2 8.3 8.4 8.5 De Roeck/en, p.243.
