Boerenbond Release – For Cor

We’ve just released a recording of the Boerenbond from Doek Festival 2003 in remembrance of Cor Fuhler.

“For Doek Festival 2003 I wrote music for a group with Cor Fuhler (organ and keyolin), Guus Janssen (piano and celesta), Oren Marshall (tuba), Michael Vatcher (trap drums, huge bass drum, gongs) and myself (cornet). We had the chance to practice 3 days extensively. We got ourselves to the point that we could play the music (the ideas) well and fresh. Listening back to the recordings 17 years later they make me feel proud and grateful that we were given the opportunity to develop this. The idea for this group came to me two months in advance. In 2020 it seems you are forced to plan years in advance.
It is great to hear Cor Fuhler playing his keyolin and the organ. We missed him in Amsterdam already for a while and now, with his passing, unfortunately forever. The combination with big fat tuba and gong sounds, piano and celesta and muted or open cornet wasn’t a bad one.
Cor we miss you.” Eric Boeren
