Arvo Pärt: Kanon Pokajanen Kanon Pokajanen Is Een 1997 Compositie Arvo Pärt: Kanon Pokajanen Kanon Pokajanen is een 1997 compositie van Arvo Pärt voor vierdelige ( SATB ) koor. De tekst is de " Canon van Bekering tot onze Heer Jezus Christus", een orthodoxe hymne. De tekst wordt gezongen in Slavische Kerk en de traditie van de Russische gewijde koormuziek wordt gezongen a capella. Arvo Pärt beschrijft zijn ontmoeting met de tekst en de geschiedenis van het instellen van deze tekst op muziek als volgt: Vele jaren geleden, toen ik voor het eerst werd betrokken bij de traditie van de Russisch-Orthodoxe Kerk, kwam ik over een tekst die een diepe indruk op mij gemaakt, hoewel ik kan niet op het moment begrepen. Het was de Canon van Berouw. Sindsdien heb ik vaak teruggekeerd deze verzen, langzaam en moeizaam die hun betekenis ontvouwen. Twee koorwerken (Nun Eile ich ...., 1990 en Memento, 1994) waren de eerste pogingen om de canon te benaderen. Ik heb toen besloten om het op muziek in zijn geheel-van begin tot eind. Dit liet me te blijven met het, om mezelf aan te besteden; en, op zijn minst, zijn greep op me niet afnemen, totdat ik de score had afgewerkt. Ik had een soortgelijke ervaring tijdens het werken op Passio. Het duurde meer dan twee jaar aan het Kanon pokajanen componeren, en de tijd 'dat we samen hebben doorgebracht' was zeer verrijkend. Dat kan verklaren waarom deze muziek betekent zoveel voor mij. Hij werd in opdracht van KölnMusic GmbH een werk ter herdenking van de 750e verjaardag van de bouw van schrijven de Dom van Keulen . Hij eindigde in 1997 en ging in première op de Dom van Keulen op 17 maart 1998, uitgevoerd door de Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir onder leiding van Tõnu Kaljuste , aan wie (zowel koor en dirigent) dit stuk werd opgedragen. Zoals Pärt zei, "de woorden zijn heel belangrijk voor mij, dat ze de muziek definiëren" en bovendien "de bouw van de muziek is gebaseerd op de constructie van de tekst." [2] Dus de structuur van de muziek zal worden op basis van de tekst, namelijk de "Canon van Berouw." De oosters-orthodoxe canon , in het algemeen, bestaat uit negen odes (hoewel in de praktijk meestal slechts acht worden gezongen). Elke ode begint met een inleidend vers genaamd de eirmos (pl. Eirmoi), die wordt gevolgd door vier verzen genoemd troparia (zingen. Troparion) alle afgewisseld met antifonale reacties geschikt voor de canon van toepassing is. De laatste Troparion wordt aangeduid als de Theotokion , zo genoemd omdat hij ter ere van de geschreven Theotokos ( Moeder van God ). Er zijn ook intermezzo hymnen die dienen om de canon thema kapselen: de Sedalen (verschijnt in tussen Ode III en Ode IV), de Kontakion en zijn Ikos (zowel tussen Ode VI en Ode VII), en het Gebed na de Canon (na Ode IX). Deze sluit de canon en kan als pre- dienen communie gebed. De eirmos (Grieks voor "model" of "chain") is een parafrase van een van de negen kantieken gevonden in de Schrift , meestal met een bepaald vers of het algemene idee in de bijbelse lied. Hier zijn de lijst van de bibilical lofzangen met hun traditionele namen: 1. Exodus 15: 1-19 -Het Canticle van Mozes en Mirjam , na het oversteken van de Rode Zee 2. Deuteronomy 32: 1-43 -De Canticle van Mozes, kastijden de Israëlieten voor hun zonden 3. 1 Samuel 2: 1-10 (1 Kingdoms 2: 1-10, LXX ) -De Canticle van Hannah 4. Boek van Habakuk 3: 2-19 -De Zonnelied (of Vision) van Habakuk 5. Boek van Jesaja 26: 9-20 -Het gebed van Jesaja 6. Boek Jona 2: 3-10 -Het gebed van Jonah 7. Gebed van Azaria, 2-21 (Daniel 3: 26-45, Septuagint ) -De Gebed van de Drie Heilige Kinderen: Hananja, Misael en Azarja 8. Het Lied van de Drie Heilige Kinderen 28-67 (Daniel 3: 52-90, Septuagint ) -De Lied van de Drie Heilige Children 9. Evangelie van Lucas 1: 46-55 -De Magnificat Normaal gesproken is de tweede ode wordt weggelaten vanwege zijn ernstige aard. De meest opvallende uitzondering hierop is in de Grote schuldbelijdenis Canon van St. Andrew van Kreta, die wordt gezongen tijdens de Grote Vasten . In de meeste canons, waaronder de huidige, is er geen tekst geschreven voor Ode II en daarom is er geen Ode II in Kanon Pokajanen. De nummering echter niet verandert zoals in onderstaand schema voor het hele stuk: Ode I, Ode III, Ode IV, Ode V, Ode VI, Kondakio, Ikos, Ode VII, Ode VIII, Ode IX, Gebed na de Canon .

EMERGING FROM THE UNDERGROUND OF ‘OFFICIAL ATHEISM’ OF THE SOVIET ERA Arvo Pärt was a representative of the underground music in the former Soviet Union. His music, like the works of many other musicians and art- ists, did not fit within the narrow bosom of Socialist Realism – the prevail- ing ideology of the time.1 He had to struggle in order to write the music he wanted. Nowadays there is no Soviet Empire anymore, and the composi- tions of Pärt represent “the face” of contemporary music. He is one of the few composers whose art music enjoys success similar to that of pop. He is widely known, and his works are being performed all over the world. Arvo Pärt was born in 1935 in Paide, near Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, one of the Western republics within the former USSR. Between the First and the Second World War this little country enjoyed a short period of in- dependence. Life for Pärt till 1980 was inseparably connected with his Motherland Estonia on one hand, and with Russia, which was the political and cultural dominant at that time, on the other hand. Pärt knew and loved national traditions, as well as he knew European and Russian culture: he called the composer Glazunov who taught his teacher Heino Eller ‘my musi- * Tatiana Soloviova studied at Moscow State University and obtained her PhD in His- tory.

Together with T my two earlier CDs of Pärt’s music on harmonia mundi, they provide a comprehensive survey of his choral music both a cappella and with organ accompaniment. While some of the newer pieces demonstrate a more colourful and nuanced approach to the setting of texts to music, the influence of early music on his style is a constant presence and returns with renewed strength in these recent works. This influence operates at three levels and the most significant of them concerns what may be described as Pärt’s rhetorical position as reflected in the way in which he uses a text for music.

  • Arvo Pärt's Te Deum
    Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum : A Compositional Watershed STUART GREENBAUM Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (by thesis and musical composition) July 1999 Faculty of Music The University of Melbourne Abstract A critical analysis of Arvo Pärt’s Te Deum (1984-85) is conducted in light of his tintinnabuli style. The origin of this style is traced back to 1976, placing Te Deum in the middle of the tintinnabuli period. Te Deum is a major work lasting nearly half an hour, written for three choirs, strings, prepared piano and tape. The introduction to the thesis provides an overview of the composer and styles with which he is aligned. Definitions of minimalism, spiritual minimalism and tonality are contextualised, with reference to Pärt’s compositional technique, aesthetic and development. The work is analysed syntactically and statistically in terms of its harmonic mode, its textural state and orchestration, its motivic construction, and the setting of the Te Deum text. The syntactic function of these parameters are viewed in dialectical terms. Analysis is conducted from the phenomenological standpoint of the music ‘as heard’, in conjunction with the score. Notions of elapsed time and perceived time, together with acoustical space, are considered in the course of the analysis. The primary sound recording is compared to other sound recordings, together with earlier versions of the score and revisions that have accordingly taken place. The composer, Arvo Pärt, was interviewed concerning the work, and the analysis of that work. Pärt’s responses are considered in conjunction with other interviews to determine why he pursued or tackled some questions more than others.

The EPCC was founded by Tõnu Kaljuste in 1981, who was the artistic director and chief conductor for twenty years. In 2001–2007, the English musician Paul Hillier took over; between the years 2008–2013 the artistic director and chief conductor was Daniel Reuss. In the fall of 2014, Latvian Kaspars Putnins assumed the title of Artistic Director. The repertoire of the choir extends from Gregorian chant and baroque to the music of the 21th century, with a special focus on the work of Estonian composers (Arvo Pärt, Veljo Tormis, Erkki-Sven Tüür, Galina Grigoryeva, Toivo Tulev, Tõnu Kõrvits, Helena Tulve). Each season the choir gives about 60–70 concerts in Estonia and abroad.

  • 4 Musical Archetypes: the Basic Elements of the Tintinnabuli Style
    4 Musical archetypes: the basic elements of the tintinnabuli style Leopold Brauneiss I A r c h e t y p e s It could be said that, like the music of Haydn, P ärt’s music is appreciated all over the world. One reason for this rather rare phenomenon for a con- temporary composer is that he found ways of (re)building the music out of very simple basic elements or patterns such as scales, which are commonly recognized. I suggest characterizing these elements or patterns as ‘arche- type s’: this multilayered Greek term can literally be translated as ‘original or primal image’ ( arche = beginning, source). In the twentieth century, it has been known primarily through its use in Carl Jung’s analytical psych- ology, where it is linked with the equally important concept of the collective unconscious. For Jung , this means a deep layer of the unconscious mind, which can be called collective inasmuch as it is “not a personal acquisi- tion but is inborn” and thus “not individual but universal.”1 J u n g c a l l s t h e contents of this collective unconscious ‘archetypes. ’ Th ese “contents and modes of behavior that are more or less the same everywhere and in all individuals” 2 are by no means to be perceived as concrete images or ideas: in Jung ’s understanding, the archetypes are rather “defi nite forms in the psyche which seem to be present always and everywhere.”3 E l s e w h e r e , J u n g also strongly emphasizes that: archetypes are not determined as regards their content, but only as regards their form and then only to a very limited degree.

The influence of our St. Vladimir’s Seminary Press and the distinguished reputation of our faculty, as well as the good works of our alumni, have been evident in conversations throughout my travels. As a former chairman of International Orthodox Christian Charities (IOCC), which, like St. Vlad’s, is a premier pan-Orthodox institution, I have observed humanitarian efforts in Beirut, Damascus, Tbilisi, and Amman; in Kosovo, Bosnia, and Serbia; and in Ethiopia and Cameroon. At the same time, in those same places, I’ve listened to the high regard in which St. Vlad’s is held.
