Thank you John Tavener. Thank you for having been blessed with the inspiration of the culture of the Orthodox church and Western civilisation. Thank you for being and leaving your incredible legacy alongside Pärt, Tallis, Byrd, Purcell and Haendel. May your mind's fruit be heard with ear and heart for a thousand years and more.

Tavener is wonder full. And I truly appreciate the imagery that has been aligned to the music. Thank you. Suited my sensibilities very well.

There is a Japanese esthetic called 'kitsunage' ( i may have spelled it wrong)that embraces the beauty of decay. As I watch this video, as i think of those who have gone, as age advances, what is it that replaces wholeness? A thing altogether more real. Only in change do we become what we must.

Thy Bridal chamber I see adorned, O my Savior, and I have no wedding garment that I may enter, O Giver of light, enlighten the vesture of my soul, and save me. Behold the bridegroom comes at midnight, and blessed is the servant whom he shall find watching; and again, unworthy is the servant whom He shall find heedless. Beware, therefore, O my soul, do not be weighed down with sleep, lest you be given over to death, and lest you be shut out of the Kingdom. But rouse yourself, crying: Holy! Holy! Holy! art Thou, O our God. Through the Mother of God, have mercy on us! Thy Bridal chamber I see adorned, O my Savior, and I have no wedding garment that I may enter, O Giver of light, enlighten the vesture of my soul, and save me.

This is actually an english translation of a Greek-Orthodox hymn of the Holy Week. Τον νυμφώνα σου βλέπω, Σωτήρ μου, κεκοσμημένον - Thy bridal chamber i see adorned my saviour... For anyone interested, here is a link to the original hymn kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5_cXqukqZtofKM&ab_channel=OrthodoxPeristeri

Sometimes music justifies its existence simply be being beautiful.Tavener probably wrote too much and sometimes works were excessively long. There were also accusations of 'fake spirituality' (oddly not said about Part) but Tavener's command of long choral lines and harmonic tension when it served the word settings narrative were exquisite. Forget sub-agendas and just listen.

The images in the video really have nothing to do with the piece.... very odd

It does. This is the interior of a convent or prioryat perfect peace and silence. When the spul departs in peace and in prayer, it meets the Bridegroom, Christ Jesus, in glory and ecstasy and joy unknowable here on Earth. What you see is the peaceful and spiritually rich departure, the scenes of twilight and nightfall. There we go all, into the night. But I will not walk alone.

@@nancys2574 Well said. This empty and decaying structure was once beautiful and full of life as the bodies we leave behind. The is something beautiful and tender about the end of our lives. May God comfort those we leave behind.

You don't have to be to appreciate the esthetic. To hear the tenderness of the music. This is a lullabye sung to those ready for death. And no matter what you believe it will come to you. Contemplate.
