Every 25 years the Hanswijk procession commissions a Flemish composer to write a full-length work to be performed in the St Rombout’s Cathedral.

 This year the honour fell to Johan Duijck. In the biblical text on which his work is based, God calls out to man, and man replies– sometimes in the positive, sometimes in the negative. Besides the view from the Old and New Testament, there work also features a poem by Rilke on the same theme: ‘Gott spricht zu jedem nur’ (‘God speaks to each of us’).
