Toelichting:
Program note (English): "The end" consists of seven songs. The last song must be accompanied by one or more unspecified instruments. "The end" is about dying. The first song is based on a story by the 17th-century English author John Aubrey, in which a woman welcomes her lover in such a way that she is crushed to death. Stories about several bizarre ways of dying, taken from the English newspaper, The Independent, are told in songs 2, 3, 4 and 5. The sixth song is based on a text about the neat and controlled way insects die by the English artist David Barton, published in his 'drawing-book' "Sequences One". In the last song the singer tells the audience that, in spite of the 'gloomy' atmosphere of preceding songs, he is happy to be alive. This last song is based on the poem that concludes Daniel Defoe's "A journal on the Plague Year". - Jacques Bank
