    Extractions: Sir John Tavener (b. 1944) Seeking the Hidden Face John Tavener was born in the North London suburb of Wembley Park on January 28, 1944. Musical from an early age, he went to Highgate School with the intention of becoming a concert pianist. Tavener's fellow pupils included, amongst others, the composer John Rutter, the pianist Francis Steiner, and Nicholas Snowman, who was later to found the London Sinfonietta, and it was in such an environment that he began to compose seriously. The pieces he wrote during the Highgate years such as Credo and Duo Concertante (both 1961) helped win him a scholarship to the Royal Academy of Music in 1962. Three Holy Sonnets of John Donne (1964) brought the young Tavener into contact with his hero, Stravinsky, who, on taking one look at the score, simply wrote the words 'I know' on the first page. Tavener continued his studies under first Lennox Berkley and then David Lumsdaine, and in 1964 wrote his first opera, The Cappemakers , a setting of the stories of Lazarus and the woman taken in adultery from the York Cycle of mystery plays. It was the premiere of The Whale , in January 1968, which made Tavener's reputation. The first performance was given by the newly formed London Sinfonietta under David Atherton. The piece, a cantata for soloists, chorus, tape and 'men with loud hailers', was enthusiastically received, with Tavener being hailed as the boy wonder of British music. Tavener's music at this time was much influenced by Serialism and collage, and was often deliberately iconoclastic.

    http://www.npr.org/programs/pt/features/tavener.html
    
    Extractions: Bruce Adolphe's "name that composer" piano quiz John Tavener John Tavener is a contemporary English composer known for his devotional, contemplative music. Born in North London in 1944, he attended the Royal Academy of Music following a music-filled upbringing, and in the late 1960s, he premiered "The Whale" and had it released on the Beatles new Apple Records label. Tavener is largely at odds with the popular contemporary views of classical music. In part one of his interview, he explains why he is not a big fan of Beethoven or Mozart and why most classical music sounds contrived to him. Tavener makes the case for an approach to music he calls more "primordial" and "traditional." While Tavener's reputation has been growing over the last 30 years, one recent event catapulted him to international prominence. We'll hear a piece of Tavener's that was sung to close the funeral of Princess Diana, the "Song for Athene" (ah-THEE-nee). Martin Neary conducts the Westminster Abbey Choir. (Sony Classical SK 66613) In the second part of their conversation, Fred talks to Tavener about his new piece, "Lamentations and Praises," based on the Orthodox liturgy for Good Friday. Tavener hopes his piece will work like Orthodox icons (Tavener was received into the Russian Orthodox Church in 1977), which are meant to lead people toward contemplation of the divine. He feels that "you shouldn't try to dissect the piece...you should let

    Extractions: I ended up studying with John Tavener mostly by chance. A fellow student in Peter Sander's composition class at the City Literary Academy in Holborn had been taught by Tavener at Trinity, and when I decided to try and get into a conservatoire it was one of the obvious places to apply. However there was no reason why I should have been allocated to Tavener, and no reason why he should have chosen to accept me. Acceptance wasn't by any means automatic. John admitted later that if he didn't like a student or their music, he'd refuse to see them. A boy in the year above me repeatedly made the hour's journey from Trinity in central London to Wembley Park for his lesson, only to find his teacher apparently not at home. In fact Tavener loathed this student and was waiting for him to lose heart and go away. In the end the student was transferred to another teacher. The College never took this up with John, perhaps because he was one of only a few luminaries on their staff. You could hardly fail to find his appearance and manner striking. When I started at Trinity at the end of 1984 John was about forty, but seemed much older. He'd had a minor stroke not long previously, and walked slowly and stiffly. Almost invariably dressed in loose white clothes, as if a small part of Greece had come to Wembley, he wore his thinning sun-bleached hair long. I never worked out how much of his florid complexion was attributable to sun-worship and how much to high blood pressure. Tavener spoke slowly, in an old-fashioned patrician drawl.

    Extractions: At the debut concert of the London Sinfonietta in 1968, John Tavener's dramatic cantata THE WHALE took its audience by storm and led to Tavener's music being recorded on The Beatles' Apple label. Since that time Tavener has continued to show an originality of concept and an intensely personal idiom making his a voice quite distinct from those of his contemporaries. His growing interest in the Russian Orthodox Church, which he joined in 1977, marked a significant change in his style of composition. Increasingly, his influences looked back to ancient Tradition as he worked towards the creation of an icon in sound. Major works of the 1980s and early 1990s include the ORTHODOX VIGIL SERVICE and the AKATHIST OF THANKSGIVING, which was given a standing ovation in Westminster Abbey at its premiere in 1988. The Virgin Classics recording of THE PROTECTING VEIL for solo cello and strings with Steven Isserlis was awarded a Gramophone Award in 1992. Large-scale choral and orchestral works include RESURRECTION and an opera for the 1992 Aldeburgh Festival, MARY OF EGYPT which was recorded by Collins Classics. Combined with his reflective spirit, John Tavener has an engaging humour which is never far from the surface. This is captured in both Glimpses of Paradise (1992), a documentary by director Geoffrey Haydon and The South Bank Show, broadcast on ITV on Easter Day 1998 and subsequently released on video.

    Extractions: Born in London on 28 January 1944, John Tavener showed his musical talents at an early age and by the time he entered Highgate School he was already a proficient pianist and organist. He proceeded to the Royal Academy of Music where he won several prizes for composition. Among his teachers were Sir Lennox Berkeley and the Australian composer David Lumsdaine. In 1965 his dramatic cantata The Whale, given in the debut concert of the London Sinfonietta, brought him to the attention of the London musical public. The first recordings of his work were issued by Apple, the label made famous by the Beatles. Over the years, the contemplative side of John Tavener's nature has led him in more spiritual directions and his commitment to the Russian Orthodox Church, which he joined in 1977, is now evident in all his work. Recent major works include The Akathist of Thanksgiving (1988), The Protecting Veil (1989) for solo cello and strings, a large-scale choral and orchestral work, Resurrection (1990) and an opera, Mary of Egypt, written for the 1992 Aldeburgh Festival. Tavener's 50th birthday year in 1994 was marked by commissions for the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra's centenary celebrations (Theophany), the 1994 Proms (The Apocalypse), the Monteverdi Choir's 30th anniversary (The World is Burning), and a work for violist Yuri Bashmet and the London Symphony Chorus (The Myrrh-Bearer). In 1995, new works have included Let's Begin Again (1994), jointly commisioned by the Norfolk and Norwich Festival, Festival d'Art Sacré, Paris, Greenwich Festival, London and Perth Festival, Australia; Svyatuiee (1995) for Steven Isserlis and the Kiev Chamber Choir at the Cricklade Festival; Innocence (1994), written to commemorate the victims of World War II, and premiered in October by the Westminster Abbey Choir. Arc of Light and Agraphon (1994) for soprano Patricia Rozario and string orchestra were commissioned to form the centrepiece of a Tavener Festival in Athens, November 1995. Tavener was the subject of a 1992 BBC documentary entitled "Glimpses of Paradise" which was also screened at the BBC's Tavener Festival in January 1994. Geoffrey Haydon's book 'Glimpses of Paradise' was published by Gollancz in the autumn 1995.

    http://www.metanoia.org/martha/writing/lamentations.htm
    
    Extractions: buy it John Tavener must be accustomed to confusing music critics; by uniting the ethos of the Orthodox Church and contemplative spirituality with concert music, he frequently perplexes those who listen through the lens of the last 400 years of Western classical music. But Tavener’s enormous popularity shows that critics may be missing the point. The spirituality of his music obviously resonates deeply with many listeners; and his newest work, Lamentations and Praises, written for and recorded by the acclaimed men’s vocal ensemble Chanticleer, may become one of his most popular works. For Tavener it represents a move back toward simpler and more intimate styles, after large, dramatic, esoteric recent works like Total Eclipse and Fall and Resurrection.

    Extractions: classical music with contemplative spirituality. by Martha Ainsworth “The silence must be longer,” I protested. “This music is about the silence. The sounds are there to surround the silence.” The conductor, rehearsing The Beatitudes by composer Arvo Pärt, looked skeptical. He sought a rational analysis. “Exactly how many beats?” he demanded. “What do you do during the silence?” “You don’t do anything,” I explained, “you wait. God does it.” The slightly perplexed looks on the faces of the performers reflected the feeling many people have on first hearing of a new style taking root in the classical music world. Called “holy minimalism” for lack of a better description, the music of three composers - John Tavener of England, Arvo Pärt of Estonia, and Henryk Górecki of Poland - has found an enormously receptive audience, filling concert halls and generating best-selling CDs by reuniting classical music with, of all things, contemplative spirituality.
