They are intended to be sung in a large resonant acoustic with the main choir andstring orchestra at one end of the building and an echo choir and string quartet at the other. The percussion (tubular bells gongs and tam-tams) should sound from a gallery or other raised position.The Hymns wereinspired by the transparent poetry of George Herbert and are dedicated in gratitude and love to the memory of Mother Thekla former Abbess of the Orthodox Monastery of the Assumption Normanby near Whitby who died in 2011.' -John Tavener

auf Texte aus der Bibel. Par HAKIM NAJI. Die Taube (The Dove) was commissioned by ”Kirchenmusik bei St. Anna Augsburg” to celebrate the 450th anniversary of the 'Augsburger Religionsfrieden' (Religious peace of Augsburg). It is based on three biblical verses related to peace : Gen. 8/11, Luk. 1/79, Joh. 14/27. The music is through composed and develops the character of the verses with contrasted string textures, putting in relief the expressive vocal line, declamation of light and happiness. The work exists in three versions : 1. for Tenor and string quartet, 2. for Tenor and string orchestra, 3. for Tenor and organ. First performance : by Robert Sellier, Tenor, Capella St. Anna Streichquartett, St. Anna Augsburg, Festkonzert zum Hohen Friedensfest, 8 August 2005. Gen.8/11 : ”And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf pluckt off. ” Luk. 1/79 : ”To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, to guide our feet into the way of peace. ” Joh.14/27 : ”Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. ” '...to guide our feet into the way of peace.' (Luke 1,79) Words and music bind people together to form fellowships which guide us into the way of peace. Singing or playing together combine bodies and souls, so that our rhythm and breathing becomes one - a sense of belonging to one another is created which instils the very nature of peace. So it is that by becoming an integral part of the music, our feet are guided 'into the way of peace'. In Luke chapter 1, both Maria and Zechariah are carried away, body and soul, in hymns of thanksgiving. They let God´s melody resound in their bodies. Ignatius, one of the Early Fathers of the Church, might have drawn his inspiration from them when he wrote to the Christians of Ephesus around the year 100, 'Let God´s melody resound in you.' The melody of our life is a single voice within God´s great melody; an everlasting celestial melody, in which we join together as integral parts - with time, we are gradually shown which chords we are given to touch and which chords to form with one another. God´s inextinguishable melody has an infinite galaxy of variations. As you would know, a variation is rooted but limitless. At our christening, God gives us a variation - an inextinguishable variation because of his promise, 'I am with you always, even to the end of the age.' (Matthew 28, 20). Deeply rooted as we are, God leads us through. He calls us to Life out of His Eternity, He lets his melody reverberate in us and finally calls us back, when we die, to His everlasting future. Let God´s melody resound in you and guide your feet into the way of peace./ Répertoire / Ténor et Quatuor à Cordes
