Two new web sites

Submitted by admin on 4 April, 2012 - 09:05

Recently I finished two new web sites.

The first is http://vromanfoundation.com. This site, built on request of the Vroman Foundation, is to promote the work and life of scientist and artist Leo Vroman. This 97 year old Dutchman is mainly known as a poet. However, he was also a biologist, and - less known - he made drawings. His drawings are a main subject of the web site, in the so-called Beeldbank (Image bank). There is also a biography with many photos. An English version is also planned.

After long preparation the website www.kinderneuropsychologie.org (child neuropsychology) was launched on 13 September 2010. The site gives reliable information about neurological diseases with children. It is targeted at parents, teachers, but also doctors who are involved with these childern.

The web site was built on request of A. Jennekens-Schinkel (neurologist) and F.A.J Jennekens (neuropsychologist). They have also published a book about this subject earlier. Both have a long reputation in their disciplines.

Sheet music for Dutch version of Benjamin Britten's Saint Nicolas

Submitted by admin on 23 March, 2012 - 09:14

In the autumn of 2011 the music theatre company Hollands Diep from Dordrecht (see http://muziektheaterhollandsdiep.nl/) performed Benjamin Britten's Saint Nicolas Cantata in a Dutch translation. For the choir rehearsals I created the music scores. The Dutch texts (translated by Martin Walton) was added to Benjamin Britten's notes.

Long ago I also sang this piece as a bass in the choir, which made it extra fun to do this.
