SATB choir (div) 3 Soprano voice soli
SKU: M6.OMP-CMR011E
Composed by Vladimir Martynov. Musica Russica #OMP-CMR011E. Published by Musica Russica (M6.OMP-CMR011E).
Vladimir Martynov (b. 1946) is a Moscow composer who began with postmodernist avant garde and experimental music and later shifted his attention to the chant of the Russian Orthodox Church. His magical setting of the Beatitudes is simplicity itself: two soprano soloists (later joined by a third, singing a descant) alternately sing the words from the Sermon on the Mount to a folklike pentatonic melody over a timeless ostinato of barely shifting chords hummed by the chorus. Only in the last verse is the music (along with the listeners' attention) given a new directionheavenward. The coda, repeated ad libitum, leaves the hearer transfixed and transformed at having experienced something timeless, eternal, and definitely not of this world.
Also available with the original Slavonic text in Cyrillic and phonetics, cat. No. CMR011.
