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.
Music
- instrumentation: soprano and piano
- duration: ca 8'30"
Parts
- 1. Avondliedeken[4].
- 2. De zwane [The Swan][7]

Sources
- autographs of Avondliedeken (first and twice the later version): Royal Conservatory Brussels (B-Bc), shelf number BV-03-4092.
Notes
- ↑ The first version of Avondliedeken dates from 1933.
- ↑ The scores may still be in the Legley family.
- ↑ 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.
- ↑ The original version of this song had the opus number 4 no.4.
- ↑ On this text Legley would later compose two more works: one for female choir and one for soprano and piano.
- ↑ in the first version gematigd [moderate].
