Huub Oosterhuis

Huub Oosterhuis was a pioneer of the vernacular liturgical movement in the Netherlands. He is a poet by nature and draws on the imagery of the Scriptures for his inspiration and subject matter. As an integral part of the Dutch School, Huub wrote the texts which were set to music by whichever Dutch School composer (among them Oomen, Huijbers and Löwenthal) he felt could best bring his text to life.
