On 14 November 1653, the jewellery merchant Gaspar Duarte is buried in Antwerp's St James' Church. The funeral is an impressive occasion, with all the pomp and circumstance. Above all, there is beautiful music. That music, full of baroque timbres, was composed by Philippus van Steelant (1611-1670). This Cahier introduces you to Philippus van Steelant and his requiem music, to the church where he worked and to the city in which he lived. (Translated with DeepL.com)
