Roukens, Dove, and Beethoven: three ways to defy fate.

What do you do when disaster knocks at your door and destroys your world? Do you resist it, in the spirit of Beethoven’s invincible Fifth? Do you reach an enlightened state of detachment, as in Jonathan Dove’s ethereally beautiful Hojoki, with countertenor Hugh Cutting as the ideal soloist? Or do you, like Joey Roukens, find a new answer? Food for thought, 87 years after the bombing of Rotterdam.
