Jacob van Eyck

I got carried away by a couple of cabooses during a recent swing through the prairies, however there were a number of extraordinary firsts for UrbanFlute on that trip. The Millenium Centre in downtown Winnipeg was absolutely stunning! Perhaps the most awe-inspiring architectural showpiece on Winnipeg’s historic ‘Bankers Row’, one simply has to pass through the massive front doors to understand why Manitoba’s capital came to be known as Canada’s ‘Chicago of the North’.

I need more recorder repertoire on UrbanFlute, so what better composer to begin with than the inspiring Jacob van Eyck and this selection from his singular Der Fluyten Lust-hof?
