Par TAVENER JOHN. Six des poèmes de Ahmatova, mis en musique (pour soprano et violoncelle) par John Tavener. Dans ces paramètres Tavener a essayé de refléter la simplicité trompeuse de ce verset, qui découle de la tradition classique. Dans la Mort chanson finale du matériau musical des chansons antérieures sont réunis. Puis le poète offre un adieu douloureux à sa patrie bien-aimée, et les étapes dans la 'cabine' qui a été particulièrement préparé pour elle. Les Chansons d'Akhmatova ont été commandées par le Festival de Musique Cricklade et créée le 28 Septembre 1993 par Patricia Rozario et Steven Isserlis à St Sampsons Eglise, Cricklade. D'abord réalisée par Steven Isserlis au Festival de musique Cricklade, Octobre 1995. / Rép Classique / Répertoire / Soprano et Violoncelle

Written in memory of innocent victims this dramatic piece is ideally performed within a church. It uses texts form the Gospels St Ephrem the Syrian the Old testament Shakespeare and from Mathnawi of Jalal al-Din Rumi.The work begins in a musical wasteland seemingly hopeless and without redemption. Words are turned upside down with apocalyptic screams from the organ. The work ends with an echo of this opening but the suffering this time isinside redemption. All the various streams come from this and flow back into it in the pianissimo canon “The son of man is come to save that which is lost.” Contains detailed performance suggestions; duration is25 minutes.

Solo Cello Part-Work for Cello Organ Soprano Tenor SATB Chorus and Handbells.

For solo Cello Timpani and Strings.Popule Meus was commissioned through the Magnum Opus project: Kathryn Gould founding patron and commissioner and Meet the Composer project manager.It was first performed on 6thFebruary 2010 by Yuri Hooker (cello) and the Winnipeg Symphony Orchestra conducted by Alexander Micklethwate. Composer's Notes 'Popule Meus is a meditation on the Judaic and Christian text ?O my People whathave I done to you?? but itis also a Universalist contemplation of the wholesale rejection of God by modern man. However much manrejects God he cannot escape Him and indeed he is condemned to the supernatural by his deiformnature. InHindu terms he is the Absolute Ayam Atma Brahma (The Self is the Absolute).In this work the solo cello is the All-Compassionate One while the timpani represent man in his vain andpointless rejection. Although the solocello and strings and the timpani share the same material (four ideas aregradually revealed and they revolve four times during the piece) the timpani music is violent and becomesincreasingly frenzied and contracted while thecello and strings remain still and serene.So even in winning the Darkness loses and even in losing the Light wins. Passion Resurrection andRedemption; or in Hindu terms Atma (The Absolute) alone is real Maya (The Relative) ismerely illusion.'
