In 1952, when he was eleven years old, the Dutch pianist Alwin Bär became a pupil of the well-known composer and pianist Hans Osieck. Later he studied with Piet Vincent, Willem Andriessen and Ton Hartsuiker (contemporary repertoire) in the Netherlands, and abroad with Eduardo del Pueyo, Vlado Perlemuter ( who studied with Ravel), Géza Anda, and Andor Foldes. In 1967 Alwin Bär also took the degree of MA in musicology at Amsterdam University. Alwin Bär made his début with orchestra in 1962, playing Chopin's First Piano Concerto. It was the beginning of an international career. He played with the internationally famous Dutch orchestras: the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, the Rotterdam Philharmonic, and the Residentie Orchestra (The Hague), and many other important ensembles, with such conductors as Bernard Haitink, Edo de Waart, Jean Fournet, Kobayashi, and others. In 1975 he was awarded the First Price at the International Arnold Schoenberg Competition in Rotterdam. The competitors had to master all of Schoenberg's piano compositions, which again shows Alwin Bär's versatility. Alwin Bär was professor at the piano faculty of the Utrecht Conservatory.

In medieval Europe from around the year 1000 A.D. city rights were granted to give settlements to certain privileges this resulting in economic growth. AMERSFOORT (The Netherlands) obtained its city rights on June 12, 1259, so in 2009 this is 750 years ago.
The miraculous discovery of a statue of the Virgin and Child, when in 1444, a young woman Geertgen Arents from Nykercken came to the town of Amersfoort (The Netherlands) to enter the Agnieten-Convent. Before passing through the town gate Camp poort [ http://web.me.com... ], she took a plain figurine of the Virgin and Child from her belongings and threw it in the water, because she was embarrassed to show the humble work to the sisters at the convent. A few weeks later, another woman, Margryt Ghysen, had three successive visions in which she was instructed to go to the canal by the town gate to rescue the Virgin Mary from the water. When she arrived there, the woman saw the discarded figurine lying under the ice which covered the flowing water. She fished it out and took it home with her. After she had told her story to the priest, the statue was taken to the Church of Our Lady of Amersfoort. Subsequently, various miracles [ http://web.mac.co... ] attracted numerous pilgrims. Unfortunately, little is left of the miraculous figurine, making it difficult to describe or date it accurately. From what remains [ http://web.me.com... ]one can deduce that it was a very simple statue made of pipe clay.
A c.1525 panel painting, made for the church of Our Lady in Amersfoort, shows the miraculous discovery of the statuette in 1444, but the painter added a church tower, which was not finished until 1470, financed by the pilgrimage revenues.
Maria, coninginne des hemels troen,
woude groet wonder, mirakelen doen
in Amersfoert, een stede versien
doer dit proper beelde ter eeren Marien,
des Godt ewich boven all ende in desen
gedanct, gheloeft, gheeert moet wesen.
Mary, queen of the throne of heaven
wished to perform great marvels, miracles
in Amersfoort, a city in possesion
of a very special statue in honour of Mary
for which God forever over all and in this respect
must be thanked, praised and honoured.
PS Margryt Ghysen on the panel wears greensleeves!

MISSALE MANUSCRIPTA BRUGES 1475-1476
The fifteenth-century words and melody are in the Sveierischen Gesangbuch,Cologne 1600; the setting by Praetorius in Musae Sioniae, 1609
Es ist ein Ros' entsprungen
Aus einer Wurzel zart,
Als uns die Alten sungen:
Aus Jesse kam die Art;
Und hat ein Blümlein bracht,
Mitten im kalten Winter,
Wohl zu der halben Nacht.
Das Röslein, das ich meine,
Davon Jesaias sagt,
Ist Maria die reine,
Die uns dies Blümlein bracht;
Aus Gottes ew'gem Rat
Hat sie ein Kindlein gboren,
Ist bliebn' ein reine Magd.
Wir bitten dich von Herzen,
Maria, Rose zart,
Durch dieses Blümleins Schmerzen,
Die er empfunden hat
Wollst uns behülflich sein,
Dass wir ihm mögen machen
Ein Wohnung hübsch und fein!
1. Lo, how a rose e'er blooming,
From tender stem hath sprung.
Of Jesse's lineage coming,
As men of old have sung;
It came, a flow'ret bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When halfspent was the night.
2. The rosebud that I mean,
Of which Isaiah told
Is Mary, the pure,
Who brought us the floweret.
At Gods immortal word,
She has borne a child
Remaining a pure maid.
3. The floweret, so small
That smells so sweet to us
With its clear light
Dispels the darkness.
True man and true God!
He helps us from all trouble,
Saves us from sin and death.

Uit de Agnietenkroniek: [ http://web.me.com... ]
In den jare ons Heeren 1444 geschiede in de stadt van Amersfoordt een wonderlick mirakel. Alse dat eenre eerbaer vroupersoon, genaempt Griet Albert Ghisen, die Godt ende sijnre gebenedider moeder trouwelicken diende, deese werde drije mael van ons L. Vrouwe vermaent omtrent Kersmisse, dat sij haestelick soude gaen aen stads graft buijten de Camp poort [ http://web.me.com... ], daer t water hard bevrosen was, omdaer wt te trecken ons L. Vrouwen beelde, dat onder dat ijs was verborgen, twelck met de stroom nijet wech en dreeff, nochte oock nijet te gronde en ginck, maer in dat lopende water bleef stil ende onbeweechlick staen. Deese Griet vertelde dit haren heer off meister dijen sy diende [Dese woonde int laeste huijs aan de Camp poort ende was genaempt Jan Huberts die verwer], om te horen wat hij haer riedt. Hij hieldet voor een ijdelen droom, belachte haer ende vermaende se, dat se daer van swygen soude. Nochtans doen sy derde werft vermaent was ende dorste zij niet langer vertrecken, maer sy stont wackerlick op ende met betrouwen ensde innicheijd ginck sij derwaerts ende in dier stede, daer men water putte, daer vant sij t voorseijde Marienbeeld. [Griet Albert Gysen was geboren in de Duijst anno 1395 ende storff annno 1493, oudt 98 jaren]. Sij brack dat ijs ende buijchde oodmoedelick haar knijen ende nam dat beeld met alder oodtmoedicheyd wtten lopende water ende brachtet thuijs, daer hem van verwonderden alle die daer omtrent woonden. Ende sij settent in huijs op een tresoir en ontstack een keersse, die sy daervoor sette brandende, die wel drije mael langer brande alse gedaen soude hebben. Dit vertelde sij haer biechtvader, die seijde, dat sij het beeld tsijnen huijse soude brengen, gelijck sij dede op Kerstavont, in welcken huijse oock des selven nachts ende des anderen daechs merckelicke mirakelen geschied sijn. De biechtvader was genoempt broeder Jan van Schoonhoven, Carmelyt. Deese biechtvader dit aenmerckende, nam dit beelde met eerwaerdichheijd ende brachtet oodmoedelick in ons L. Vrouwen kercke [ http://web.me.com... ] op St Stevens dach, op een Saterdach, daer van naebij en van verre veel personen in pilgrimagie sijn gecomen ende veel mirakelen geschiedt. In den voors. jare 1444 quam eene Geertgen Arents van der Nykercken tot Amersfoort in den convente van St Agnieten om suster te worden ende blyven. Ende doe sy onderweegen was, dacht sij, wat sij doen soude met dat cleijn simpel beeldeken van ons L. Vrouwe, twelck sij hadde onder haer cleinitten, die sij met haer bracht. Ende doe sij bij de Camp poort quam, dacht zij, dattet schande was, dat sij sodanich beeldeken in t clooster soude bringen ende de susteren laten sijen. Ende met onbedachtichheydt werp sij tselve beeldeken in de waterbeeck, daar het corts daer nae in gevonden worde. Want doen sij hoorde dveele groote mirakelen, die in ons L. Vrouwen ofte St Joosten capel geschieden door een sodanigen beelde, die van sulcken forme ende maecksel was ende in de voors. stede gevonden, soo plach sij dat oodmoedelick te belijen, dattet tselven beelde was, twelck sij soo onberadelick ende onwijselick in t water geworpen hadde. In den jare 1445 openbaerde ons L. Vrouwe aen suster Geertruyd Willems, oude procuratrix van dvoors. convente, als dat tot haerder eere, vermits veel pelgromsgiften, offerhande ende devotien, men een hoogen schoonen toorn soude timmeren.
Eén van de manieren waarop men het verhaal van de wonderbaarlijke vondst verspreidde, was in dichtvorm. Aangezien veel mensen nauwelijks konden lezen of schrijven, was dit de beste manier om informatie over te dragen. Gedichten konden makkelijker onthouden en voorgedragen worden dan proza.
