A Celtic Requiem (original) (raw)
A Celtic Requiem (Requiem for Jenny Jones) is a requiem by the English composer John Tavener, written in 1969. It is written for soprano, children's choir and orchestra. Despite its title, the work is not actually a requiem for anyone in particular. Instead, it takes the rough format of a singing game for children. A character, Jenny Jones, is selected by the children who at one point dance around her to ward off evil spirits. According to the composer, this though handed down to children, has its origin in a funeral rite in the lowlands of Scotland.

Despite its title, the work is not actually a requiem for anyone in particular. Instead, it takes the rough format of a singing game for children. A character, Jenny Jones, is selected by the children who at one point dance around her to ward off evil spirits. According to the composer, this though handed down to children, has its origin in a funeral rite in the lowlands of Scotland. The piece is composed in three sections which follow the traditional requiem: 'Requiem aeternam', 'Dies irae' and 'Requiescat in pace'. It was premiered by the London Sinfonietta and chorus under David Atherton in August 1969. Shortly afterward the BBC recorded it with the soprano and the children of Little Missenden Village School and the composer playing the organ. These forces then recorded the work for Apple Records along with two other Tavener pieces: Nomine Jesu and Coplas. The recording was released in 1970, and re-released as a CD (on SAPCOR 20) in 1993.

A pesar de su título, la obra realmente no es un réquiem para nadie en particular. En su lugar, toma el tosco formato de coro de niños. Un personaje, Jenny Jones, es elegido por los niños quienes en un momento determinado danzan a su alrededor para protegerle de los espíritus malignos. Según el compositor, esta obra ..aunque sea adaptada para niños, tiene su origen en el rito funeral de las tierras bajas de Escocia. La pieza consta de tres secciones que siguen el esquema de la forma de la misa de réquiem: Requiem aeternam, Dies irae y Requiescat in pace. Fue estrenado por la London Sinfonietta y el coro bajo la dirección de en agosto de 1969. Poco después, la BBC realizó una grabación con la soprano y el coro de niños de Little Missenden Village School y el compositor interpretando el órgano.

La grabación fue puesta en el mercado en 1970 y remasterizada en CD en 1993. (es) |
