This
commission was supported
by the Ministry of
Education and Culture in
Iceland and is dedicated
to Hilmar Orn Agnarsson
and The South Iceland
Chamber Choir. The Three
Shakespeare Sonnets was
one of the first works
that Tavener composed
after serious illness in
2007. He wanted to pay
tribute to his wife,
Maryanna, who nursed him
back to some degree of
health, so he turned to
the Shakespeare Sonnets
and was delighted to find
that they brought forth
music once again, after
having been silent for so
long.

In this
piece for unaccompanied
SATB choir, fervent,
dance-like music appears
side by side with fear
and awe, producing a
dramatic contrast. The
work was commissioned
jointly by the Dean and
Chapter of Winchester
Cathedral and by Mrs Ruth
Daniel on behalf of St.
John's College,
Cambridge, for
performances during
Advent 1997. There were
simultaneous first
performances on 29th
November 1997, given by
the Choir of Winchester
Cathedral conducted by
David Hill, and the choir
of St. John's College
conducted by Christopher
Robinson in
Cambridge.

AMEB (Australian
Syllabus) 2004. Programme
notes as
follows:
Lennox
Berkeley was born in 1903
and died in 1989. After
reading modern languages
at Oxford he had no
intention of becoming a
composer until he met
Ravel in 1926, who
encouraged him to study
in Paris with Nadia
Boulanger. He stayed in
Paris until 1932,
developing his own
musical language. In
1936, after the death of
his mother, he went to
Barcelona for the
International Society for
Contemporary Music
festival where he met
Benjamin Britten. The two
lived together at Snape
in Suffolk for a while
until the outbreak ofwar,
before Berkeley moved
back to London to work
for the BBC. Here he met
his future wife Freda
Bernstein. He taught at
the Royal Academy of
Music in London from 1946
until 1968, where his
pupils included Richard
Rodney Bennett, Nicholas
Maw and John Tavener,
among others. He was
knighted in 1974.
In early
February 1971 I was
playing in a concert at
St. John's Smith Square,
London, then only
relatively recently
restored as a superb
venue for music. The
programme, which I
believe was being
broadcast, included
Berkeley's Serenade
Op.12. It was a work I
had always enjoyed
playing and was standard
string orchestra
repertoire at the time.
There was initially no
platform at St. John's
and so the audience sat
virtually on top of the
performers. So close were
they on this occasion
that I had to ask for a
little more room in order
to play. At the end of
the piece the orchestra
acknowledged the applause
and the gentleman who I
had all but practically
decapitated with my
over-enthusiastic
playing, stood up and
took a bow. I had been
almost playing in Lennox
Berkeley's lap! The
opportunity was too good
to miss and I wasted
little time in
introducing myself. Mr
Berkeley said that he had
been fascinated by my
playing and asked me to
write to him about a
possible
commission.

Mah&a
acute;mátar is
written for Oriental or
Middle-Eastern female
voice, distant boys'
voices (in a vast
acoustic), tubular bells
and muted strings. The
music is an invocation to
the Great Mother
Mahámátar
in Sanskrit, and to the
Theotóke
(God-bearer) in Greek.
Originally written to
accompany a film by
Werner Herzog which deals
with South American
Indians who travel for
many miles on their knees
to venerate the
miraculous Ikon of The
Mother of God of
Guadalupe.
Mahámátar
may be performed by a
solo voice or
alternatively the melody
could be played by a solo
cello, with decorations
and improvisations by the
singer.

This work
is based on the biblical
story of the martyrdom of
Saint Stephen,
traditionally regarded as
the first Christian
martyr, asrecounted in
the Acts of the Apostles.
Stephen was a member of
the early Church in
Jerusalem. He was an
inspired and charismatic
preacher, but he aroused
great hostility among the
members of the various
synagogues by his
teachings, and he was
accused of blasphemy. At
his trial he looked up to
heaven and declared that
he saw God in his Glory,
with Jesus standing at
his right hand. This so
enraged the authorities
that he was flung from
the city and stoned to
death. As he died, he
prayed that the Lord
Jesus would receive his
spirit, and that his
killers would beforgiven.
In this setting the choir
recounts the story in
Latin, whilst the solo
horn music depicts the
violence of the stoning.
The work endswith a
quotation from Chopin's
Ballade No. 2 in F, Op.

Metropolitan and
Cathedral Chapter of St.
Stephen's Cathedral,
