Androcosme is the tenth movement of the wider work Miroir Des Poèmes a work which sets 22 poems by the French poet and philosopher Jean Biès. This piece is arranged for unaccompanied double SATBChoir and lasts around 3 minutes. Miroir Des Poèmes was commissioned by the Vancouver Chamber Choir to mark their 40th anniversary in 2011 with major funding coming from the Arts Partners inCreative Development. The lyrics of Androcosme include a refrain which depicts the progression of man's life through various emotions comparing them to the natural world in a beautifully poetic metaphor.Tavener himself describes this piece as part of the central section which is 'the metaphysical and mystical centre of the piece'. Please note the words are in French but an Englishtranslation is provided.

This work was commissioned by DOM in association with Canty who gave the first performance in York Minster on 23rd October 2008.This brief motet for four voices and renaissance bray harp was written in the South of France inFebruary 2007. It is a setting of two Hadiths or sayings attributed to the Prophet Mohammed. The words convey something of the great mystery of the Absolute and the Beautiful One who is immanent and yet hidden. The music shouldbe performed with great purity in a resonant acoustic. If a renaissance bray harp is not available the harp part may be played on a contemporary instrument. I was a Hidden Treasure; And I longed to be known; So Icreated the world.God is a Beautiful Being And He loves Beauty.
