'Threnody' by Annelies Van Parys commissioned by I SOLISTI, SPECTRA and Muziekcentrum De Bijloke premiered 31 May 2024 in Ghent. Threnody is a lament for which Van Parys took inspiration from the chanson 'Nymphes des Bois', the famous 'Déploration sur la mort d'Ockeghem' by Josquin Desprez. Also Van Parys' work is a tribute to an inspiring fellow composer. The phrase "Vous avez perdu votre bon père" from Josquin's lamento took on a very special additional layer of meaning for her during the composing process due to a personal loss.
