(BH Large Choral). (2004, 55 minutes) Karl Jenkins' Requiem sets the traditional Latin text of the Requiem mass, including the extra movements included by Faure and Durufle Pie Jesu and In paradisum . These are interspersed with haiku "death" poems (sung in Japanese) whose delicate, epigrammatic texts provide a peaceful commentary on the liturgical words. The result is a deeply moving expression of spirituality, whose musical tying together of different cultures provides a link that is highly appropriate to the modern world. This powerful book will appeal to choirs wanting to sing an unusual but appealing and effective piece: the full scoring of the work includes a part for Japanese flute (shakuhachi) and an array of unusual drums.

Dedicated to the memory of the composer' father, who was a musician. With the blend of traditional Latin text combined with the haiku poems from Japan, the composer brings what are seemingly disparate elements together, such as the orchestra from Kazakhstan, and the Welsh choirs.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - In den letzten Jahren ist Karl Jenkins zu einem der weltweit gefragtesten, noch lebenden Komponisten geworden. Er dirigiert weiterhin seine epischen 'Adiemus'-Live-Konzerte mit renommierten Orchestern wie dem London Philharmonic Orchestra auf Festivals und Konzerten in Großbritannien und im Ausland. Sein bewegendes Chorwerk 'The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace' hat sich mittlerweile fest unter den beliebtesten Konzertstücken etabliert. Dieses neue Werk vertraut auf den Stil, den die britische Öffentlichkeit kennen- und schätzengelernt hat. Jenkins hat die üblichen Sätze aus der lateinischen Requiem-Messe eingerichtet, aber in dem von ihm bekannten Rückgriff auf andere Kulturen auch fünf japanische Todesgedichte, sog. 'Haikus', vertont. Diese Gedichte haben üblicherweise Szenen aus der Natur zum Inhalt, vermitteln nur einen einzigen Gedanken und bestehen aus siebzehn Silben, die sich im Silbenmuster 5-7-5 über drei Zeilen erstrecken. Wie man dem Text entnehmen kann, betrachten die Japaner den natürlichen Wasserkreislauf (Niederschlag) als Synonym des Lebens. Westliche und östliche Texte werden in den beiden Haiku-Sätzen 'Having Seen The Moon' und 'Farewell' miteinander verbunden, darunter das 'Benedictus' bzw. das 'Agnus Dei'. Beide werden von Männerstimmen wie Mönchsgesang intoniert, als Kontrapunkt zu dem von Frauen gesungenen japanischen Text. Die Besetzung dieser Haiku-Vertonungen umfasst u.a. die Shakuhachi, ein altes japanisches Blasinstrument. An anderer Stelle hat Jenkins wie üblich einige ethnische Trommeln (z. B. arabische Darabukka, japanische Taiko, Rahmentrommeln) und sogar Hip-Hop-Rhythmen im 'Dies Irae' verwendet! Seller Inventory # 9780851624853
