Life

Franciscus Aarts was a zangmeester (singing master) in Rotterdam in 1697 . In September of this year he asked for permission in Rotterdam to give concerts in the city's Doele. This permit was granted on October 3, 1697. From then on he was allowed to hold concerts between 5 and 7 p.m. in the town of Doele. De Doelen is still the name of a concert and congress building in Rotterdam today. Aarts was a musiek-meester (music master) in Amsterdam around 1705 . This emerges from the foreword of his Italian Musiek-Boek .

Works (selection)

Italiaansch Musiek-Boek Over de Liederen van Dirk Raphaelsz Kamphuysen.

Componeert by Franciscus Aarts, Musiek-Meester to Amsterdam. printed by Jan Rieutwersz Amsterdam, 1705 RISM ID: 990000003 OCLC 97019626 The foreword is signed on April 10, 1705.

The collection contains 155 unanimous songs on 160 pages. These are poems by Dirk Raphaelsz Kamphuysen (* 1568 in Gorinchem , Netherlands, † 1627 in Dokkum , Netherlands).

Robert Eitner writes: "The quiet process of the transformation of the old church keys into the 24 modern keys occurs at the time these songs were written. The songbook provides interesting evidence of how one was only half aware of the transformation." He also describes it as a rare example of Dutch music at the beginning of the 18th century.
