A. Pärt: Silouan's Song

Arvo Pärt: Silouan's Song
My soul yearns after the Lord.
Hugo Ticciati violin
O/Modernt Chamber Orchestra
Few composers shape their works according to their personal religious philosophy as deeply and poignantly as Arvo Pärt does, and within his oeuvre, few pieces can be found that carry as heavy a spiritual weight as Silouan's Song. Pärt's treatment of religious topics is never a mere acknowledgment of a long-standing musical tradition, or an objective experiment within a church-derived musical form. The intensity of a work such as Silouan's Song is not a musical construction, but a very personal expression of faith. Jeremy Grimshaw.

Silouan’s Song is based on words by St. Silouan: “My soul yearns for the Lord and I tearfully seek him out. How am I not to seek thee? Thou didst seek me out first and granted that I may rejoice in thy Holy Spirit, and my soul loved thee. Thou dost see, O Lord, my sadness and my tears… If thou didst not bring me to thee through thy love, then I should not have sought thee as I now seek thee, yet thy Spirit granted that I may come to know thee, and my soul rejoiceth that thou art my God and Lord, and unto tears I yearn for thee…”

Part is such an incredible composer... Religion for me was always a naughty word but his music truly makes me believe in something greater than myself.

[@Tomarktus]

This interpretation is SO incredible... :o something I'd really have watched live... reaching perfection.

[@gharwood1356]

I listen to Arvo Part when crossing the Atlantic overnight. It reminds me of just how insignificant I actually am.

[@russelld4986]

One of the most hauntingly beautiful pieces I have ever heard.

[@silvanussum5188]

You should read Silouan's life. He is my Holy Patron.

[@subhankarbanerjee8651]

The pauses add a different level of depth to this piece.

Je suis sans mots pour dire ce que j'ai ressentis en découvrant cette musique, MERCI.

"J'ai vu tant de gens si mal vivre et tant de gens mourir si bien."

Have listened this from Cameristi Della Scala. It still reminds me the moment I had goose bumbs. I noticed everyone is too. We were holding our breaths at silences. And shivering all over.

Hamish Madden 1 year ago Silouans Song is subtitled "My soul yearns after the Lord ..." Its title refers to Saint Silouane of Athos, who was born Simeon Ivanovich Antonov, of Russian Orthodox parents who came from the village of Sovsk in Imperial Russia's Tambov Governorate. At the age of twenty-seven, after a period of military service, he left his native Russia and came to the monastic state of Mt. Athos (an autonomous peninsula in Greece) where he became a monk at the Monastery of St Panteleimon, known as "Rossikon", an Orthodox monastery that houses Russian monks yet is, as all the Athonite monasteries, under the jurisdiction of the Patriarch of Constantinople. There, was given the name Silouan (the Russian version of the Biblical name Silvanus.) An ardent ascetic, he received the grace of unceasing prayer and saw Christ in a vision. After long years of spiritual trial, he acquired great humility and inner stillness. He prayed and wept for the whole world as for himself, and he put the highest value on love for enemies. He became widely known as an elder. St Silouan died on September 24, 1938. His memory is celebrated on September 24. Though barely literate, he was sought out by pilgrims for his wise counsel. His writings were edited by his disciple and pupil, Archimandrite Sophrony. Father Sophrony has written the life of the saint along with a record of St. Silouan's teachings in the book Saint Silouan the Athonite. Starets Silouan was canonized by the Ecumenical Patriarchate in 1987.

if your soul is not affected by this music, you are far from what was expected of you.

Gorgeous, but recorded at such low volume that much of the subtlety is missed.
