In die motto van hierdie reeks liedtekste vra Amanda Strydom: “Moet ek skryf oor die liefde / Moet ek skryf oor politiek / Oor die menslike kondisie / Oor ons blou planeet se siek?”

Dit is ook dan juis wat sy doen – haar vlymskerp lirieke ondersoek hierdie temas op ’n meesterlike wyse. Alhoewel Amanda op die verhoog ’n onvergeetlike belewenis is, bewys Kaalvoet dat haar woorde selfs sonder musiek ’n slag kan slaan.

Kaalvoet het die eerste keer in 2004 verskyn en die destydse drukoplaag het uitverkoop.

for organ
This is a marvellous collection of pieces by Henry Purcell newly arranged for the organ by concert organist Martin Setchell. Purcell's music works perfectly on the organ, and a number of his pieces have long been popular with players. This volume brings together all those must-have pieces - the trumpet tunes, rondeau from Abdelazer, and so on - and combines these with a wonderful selection of lesser-known pieces from across Purcell's work. There are sprightly curtain tunes and hornpipes from the stage pieces, lovely reflective songs and airs, and a wide range of dances and chaconnes. The result is a set of pieces with wide and varied church and concert use, perfectly accessible to intermediate players. Publication in 2009 coincides with the 350th anniversary of the composer's birth, and the volume makes a valuable addition to any organist's repertoire.
