In 2006 Brabant will be celebrating it’s 900th anniversary. On May 13th 1106 the count Van Leuven was appointed duke of Brabant. This was the birth of the duchy of Brabant. For centuries this duchy, situated in the heart of the Netherlands, was the primary of the seventeen provinces in the Lowlands. Brabant formed with it’s capital cities Brussels, Leuven, Antwerp and ‘s-Hertogenbosch the focal point for politics, culture and economy. The revolution against Spain (1566-1648) caused a fracture between the North and South. The old duchy was divided into a Dutch and Belgian part. Even though each had their own historical background, the bond forged in the past was partially keptalive. To this day we still have a duke of Brabant. Brabantia Aeterna takes you on a musical journey through 900 years of Brabant history. A fascinating journey portraying war and peace, love and grief, prosperity and adversity, development and deterioration. Listen to how monks chanted, bells tolled and churches were built. Or take the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries with their bustling markets, builders of cities or the bleating of countless sheep across the heather. The plague, tribulations, soldiers and political bickering in the following centuries. Hear how the industrialisation of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries provided prosperity for the region and how to this day the following saying still applies: ‘the road to Brabant leads to a warmer world’ Brabantia Aeterna was commissioned by the Brabantse Bond van Muziekverenigingen (Brabant Music Society) in honour of its fifth anniversary.

In 2006 bestaat Brabant 900 jaar. Op 13 mei 1106 kreeg de graaf van Leuven de titel van hertog van Brabant. Hiermee was het hertogdom Brabant geboren. Eeuwenlang was dit hertogdom, gelegen in het hart van de Nederlanden, het eerstein rang van de zeventien gewesten van de Lage Landen. Brabant vormde met zijn hoofdsteden Brussel, Leuven, Antwerpen en 's-Hertogenbosch het brandpunt van bestuur, cultuur en economie. De Opstand tegen Spanje (1566-1648) brachtechter een scheuring tussen Noord en Zuid teweeg. Het oude hertogdom viel uiteen in een Nederlands en een Belgisch deel. Hoewel ieder zijn eigen weg in de geschiedenis ging, zou de band die in het verleden was gesmeed gedeeltelijkblijven bestaan. Vandaag de dag hebben we nog steeds een hertog van Brabant. Brabantia Aeterna neemt u mee op een muzikale reis door 900 jaar Brabant. Het is een boeiende tocht langs oorlog en vrede, lief en leed, voorspoed entegenslag, bloei en verval. Luister hoe vroeger de monikken zongen, de klokken luidden en kerken werden gebouwd. Of neem de dertiende en veertiende eeuw met zijn drukke marktgeluiden, de bouwers van steden of het geblaat van tallozeschapen op de heide. De pest, rampen, soldaten en politiek gekrakeel in de daarop volgende eeuwen. Hoor hoe de industrialisatie in de negentiende en twintigste eeuw zorgde voor nieuwe welvaart in de regio en hoe vandaag de dagnog steeds geldt: 'Op weg naar Brabant wordt de wereld warmer.' Brabantia Aeterna is geschreven in opdracht van de Brabantse Bond van Muziekverenigingen ter gelegenheid van haar vijfjarig bestaan.
