Description
Dinant Krouwel described the Four Kwatrijnen for high voice (cis1-a2) in the Liedvriend (Song Friend), 2005 No. 3 as follows: "Two songs are philosophical in nature and two cabaretesk. The first quatrain is a witty drinking song. Despite or perhaps due to the brevity and humor a large cosmos is put down, where something seemingly insignificant or even nothing is decisive. The music has a tonal character. The attractive piano parts are reminiscent of Poulenc.
