Guilielmus Borremans
Guiglielmus Borremans or Willem Borremans was a Flemish composer and the choir master of the Saint Gaugericus Church in Brussels. Life and work In 1660, he published in Antwerp, at the editing house of Petrus Phalesius' descendants, a series of Christmas songs in four parts and with Dutch and Latin texts, which bore the title: ''Cantiones natalitiae quinque vocum auctore d. Guiliel. Borremans in ecclesia parochiali S. Gaucerici Bruxellis phonasco. Antwerp: Apud haeredes Petri Phalesii, 1660''. The melody was put in the upper voice. The ''praecentus'' doubled the ''cantus.'' It is not clear what this meant. The soloist might have been singing in front, while the choir sang in the background. The way the songs have been edited might suggest the songs were performed in this way. It has also been suggested the ''praecentus'' sang half of the stanzas or the complete stanzas, while the choir would have repeated them. This kind of performance has been found written down in some older e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Raymond Borremans
Raymond is a male given name. It was borrowed into English from French (older French spellings were Reimund and Raimund, whereas the modern English and French spellings are identical). It originated as the Germanic ᚱᚨᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Raginmund'') or ᚱᛖᚷᛁᚾᛗᚢᚾᛞ (''Reginmund''). ''Ragin'' (Gothic) and ''regin'' (Old German) meant "counsel". The Old High German ''mund'' originally meant "hand", but came to mean "protection". This etymology suggests that the name originated in the Early Middle Ages, possibly from Latin. Alternatively, the name can also be derived from Germanic Hraidmund, the first element being ''Hraid'', possibly meaning "fame" (compare ''Hrod'', found in names such as Robert, Roderick, Rudolph, Roland, Rodney and Roger) and ''mund'' meaning "protector". Despite the German and French origins of the English name, some of its early uses in English documents appear in Latinized form. As a surname, its first recorded appearance in Bri ...
