Hubert Cuypers: A Self-Assertive Musician

One of Ina Lohr’s teachers was the musician and composer Hubert Cuypers (1873-1960), highly regarded both within and outside of Catholic circles, in Amsterdam as well as the rest of the Netherlands. This paper, originally presented at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis on 12 May 2016 at the study day on Ina Lohr, places his role in the Censorship Committee as well as in a contentious discussion about the rhythmic performance of plainchant in relation to his biography.
