Product Description

Immerse yourself in the ethereal and contemplative world of John Tavener with "The John Tavener Collection," a profound compilation of his choral and minimalist masterpieces. Released on January 1, 2003, under Decca Music Group Ltd., this album spans a duration of one hour and four minutes, offering a serene and spiritually uplifting experience.

The collection features a diverse range of compositions, each showcasing Tavener's unique ability to blend sacred texts with minimalist musical structures. From the hauntingly beautiful "Song For Athene" to the majestic "The Protecting Veil: The Dormition Of The Mother Of God," every track is a testament to Tavener's deep spiritual insights and his mastery of choral music.

Highlights include "The Tyger" and "The Lamb," which draw from William Blake's poetry, and "God Is With Us (A Christmas Proclamation)," a joyous Christmas proclamation that captures the essence of the holiday season. The album also features "Funeral Ikos" and "Threnos," pieces that evoke a sense of solemnity and reflection.

Tavener's compositions are known for their meditative qualities, and this collection is no exception. Whether you are a longtime fan of choral music or a newcomer to the genre, "The John Tavener Collection" offers a deeply moving and spiritually enriching listening experience.
