John Tavener. Marienhymne. Bladmuziek. SATB, SSAA. SATB. SSAA. John Tavener.

Oorspronkelijk

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 was dat zeldzame schepsel, een componist van serieuze muziek en serieuze religieuze muziek, die ook commercieel succes bereikt. Hij barstte in het populaire bewustzijn met de uitoefening van zijn Song for Athene bij de begrafenis van prinses Diana, maar had een zeer gerespecteerde en vaak uitgevoerde componist sinds de première van zijn dramatische cantate The Whale geweest in 1968.
