John
Tavener's Ode Of Saint
Andrew Of Crete for
SSSATBB. This work was
comissioned by the
Southern Arts Festival
with funds provided by
the Southern Arts
Council. Composers Note:
Saint Andrew of Crete was
born in Damascus c. 650,
and died in the early 8th
century. In the Orthodox
Church, his Great Canon
is appointed to be read
in its entirety at the
Thursday Morning Service
in the fifth week of
Great Lent. In this work
I have set the first Ode
of Saint Andrew's great
poem, with interpolations
of the refrain Have mercy
upon me, O God, have
mercy upon me in English,
Greek and Church
Slavonic. - J.T.
