Description

Music: There Is An Old Belief (from: Songs of Farewell) by Sir Charles Hubert Hastings Parry
Artists: Vlaams Radiokoor & Bart Van Reyn (conductor)
Video: Liesbet Peremans
Recorded at De Blikfabriek (Antwerpen)

There is an old belief,
That on some solemn shore,
Beyond the sphere of grief
Dear friends shall meet once more.

Beyond the sphere of Time
And Sin and Fate's control,
Serene in changeless prime
Of body and of soul.

That creed I fain would keep
That hope I'll ne'er forgo,
Eternal be the sleep,
If not to waken so.

Text: John Gibson Lockhart

Letting songs live. Letting people feel. Letting voices grow.

Vocal Fabric is the open laboratory of the Vlaams Radiokoor, in which we explore and transcend the boundaries of a capella music. During these concerts, vocal artists and the audience are united by an emotional bond: temporary and fleeting, but leaving a permanent mark– like a tattoo on the soul.
