The Tower of Babel was built in 1563 and is the best-known masterpiece of Pieter Bruegel the Elder (ca. 1520-1569). The step-like temple tower or ziggurat was an important meeting place for people from different continents and cultures. However, its spiritual meaning is even more important as this tower was considered to be the gate to heaven - the gate dividing two worlds. This work creates a musical connection between these two worlds. As sources of inspiration, the composer used the Luther chorale 'Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein' (Oh God, Look Down from Heaven, 1524), the legendary King Nimrod and the painter Pieter Bruegel the Elder, whose initials form the basis of oneof the themes.

De toren van Babel uit 1563 is het bekendste meesterwerk van Pieter Bruegel de Oude (ca. 1520-1569). De trapvormige tempeltoren of ziggoerat was een belangrijke ontmoetingsplaats voor mensen uit verschillende werelden en culturen.De spirituele betekenis ervan reikt echter nog verder: deze toren wordt beschouwd als de hemelpoort - de poort die twee werelden van elkaar scheidt. Dit werk maakt de muzikale verbinding tussen deze twee werelden. Hiervoor haaldede componist zijn inspiratie uit het Lutherkoraal 'Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh darein' (1524), de legendarische koning Nimrod en schilder Pieter Bruegel de Oude, wiens initialen aan de basis liggen van een van de thema's.

Das Gemalde Der Turmbau zu Babel aus dem Jahre 1563 ist das bekannteste Meisterwerk von Pieter Brueghel, dem Alteren (ca. 1520-1569). Die Stufentürme oder Ziggurate, aus denen sich der Turm zu Babel zusammensetzte, stellten einen wichtigen Versammlungsort für Menschen aus verschiedenen Welten und Kulturen dar. Die spirituelle Bedeutung reicht jedoch noch weiter, denn diese Türme wurden als Himmelspforte betrachtet: die Pforte, welche die beiden Welten voneinander trennte. Zu diesem Werk liess sich der Komponist von Luthers Choral Ach Gott, vom Himmel sieh' darein (1524), vom legendaren Konig Nimrod und dem Maler Pieter Brueghel, der Altere, dessen Initialen einemder musikalischen Themen zugrunde liegen, inspirieren.

Gigantesques tours carrees a etages, les ziggourats mesopotamiennes ont toujours fascine les hommes. L'une des plus celebres est celle de l'ancienne Babylone, ville que le roi Nemrod appelait Babel. La Tour de Babel devait etre la porte du ciel, mais elle devint le symbole de l'orgueil et de la confusion des langues. L'une des plus celebres representations de la Tour de Babel est le tableau eponyme de Pieter Bruegel l'Ancien (vers 1520-1569). Wouter Lenaerts s'en est inspire pour realiser cette toile musicale impressionnante.

La ziggurat e la costruzione templare caratteristica delle religioni dell'area mesopotamica. Una delle piu celebri e quella dell'antica Babilonia. La Torre di Babele fu costruita sul fiume Eufrate con l'intenzione di arrivare al cielo e dunque a Dio, ma divenne il simbolo dell'orgoglio e della confusione. Una delle piu celebri rappresentazioni della Torre di Babele e il dipinto di Peter Brueghel il Vecchio (attorno al 1520-1569), che ha ispirato il compositore nella realizzazione di questo brano impressionante.
