John Tavener. Marienhymne. NOTER. SATB, SSAA. SATB. SSAA. John Tavener.

Ursprunglig

Marienhymne is a piece on a smaller scale than Tavener’s dramatic cantatas, and is written for unaccompanied choir and semiChorus. Tavener was drawn to writer and philosopher Frithjof Schuon’s vision of the Virgin Mary as universal and primordial Woman and has used an extract from his work Maria as the libretto, in German, for this piece. The composer calls for ‘radiance and ecstasy’ and also a ‘great distance’ between the main choir and the echo choir. John Tavener was that rare creature, a composer of serious music and serious religious music, who also achieved commercial success. He burst into the popular consciousness with the performance of his Song for Athene at the funeral of Princess Diana, but had been a highly respected and frequently-performed composer since the premiere of his dramatic cantata The Whale in 1968.

John Tavener var det sällsynt varelse, en kompositör av seriös musik och allvarlig religiös musik, som också nått kommersiell framgång. Han brast i den populära medvetandet med utförandet av sin sång för Athene på begravningen av prinsessan Diana, men hade varit en mycket respekterad och ofta utförs kompositör sedan premiären av hans dramatiska kantaten The Whale 1968.
