Toelichting:
Program note (English): The John Clare Triptych consists of three compositions dedicated to the life and work of the English poet John Clare. He was born in the little country village of Helpston (Northhamptonshire) in 1793 as son of a poor farmhand and died in a lunatic asylum in 1864. Clare's main problem was his homelessness. He didn't belong to the simple, non-intellectual world of his native region. Neither did he to the intellectual, arrogant world of the literary hotshots in London. Nor to the seeminly uncomplicated world of the gypsies. Even the asylum, where he stayed for the last twenty years of his life, was not his home. He wasn't mad. He just couldn't manage life. - Part 1: 'Invitation to Eternity' is based on some of Clare's poems. Not the famous ones, but the less known, often unfinished, confused and incoherent poems. They reflect a troubled, but highly oroginal mind. - JACQUES BANK
