John Tavener: Unto The End Of The World (Flute Clarinet and Tam-Tam Parts)

€17.00
Ensemble parts from the work for Flute (doubling Piccolo), Clarinet in B flat*, Very large Tam-Tam (sounding from a high gallery), and Choir (SSATTBB). * Notated in C in the score. "According to Hindu Cosmology, we live at the end of a cycle, the Kali Yuga 闂 the Dark Age. There are two important sayings of Christ that should accompany his disciples always during these challenging times. The first is 闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鑼礄缁惈 Gates of Hell shall not prevail against my Church闂 (Matthew 16, v. 18); and the second 闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鑼玻 am with you always unto the end of the world闂 (Matthew 28, v. 20). These sayings form the basis of this work, which falls into two main sections, each with the same structure and with linked material. Each section begins with Kali Yuga, which I have tried to represent in a chaotic, unstructured way, in contrast to the cosmic Cries of Humanity to Christ (Kyrie eleison - Lord, have mercy), and Christ闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鏌ユ偘 responses from Saint Matthew闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鏌ユ偘 Gospel. The work ends with a serene 闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鏌ュΧda闂 of the sacred monosyllable 闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鍙夊閹綁姊, representing the peace and beatitude of God闂備胶鍋ㄩ崕鏌ユ偘 presence. The intermingling of Christianity and Hinduism is an important simile for our times; in the same way, early Christianity did not hesitate to incorporate Jewish and Greek thought." - John Tavener
