Krzysztof Penderecki (b. 1932) \u201cLORD, who may sojourn in Your tent?\u201d <\/span>Domine, quis habitabit<\/span><\/i>, from St Luke\u2019s Passion (1966).<\/span><\/p>\n

Penderecki\u00a0 began to acquire fame in the 1960s with the appearance of his revolutionary compositions, the most famous of which was the \u201cLament Over Hiroshima.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Together with other successful experiments in the nature of the tone, and innovative notation systems that would be more appropriate for the new aesthetics, many of his works were compositions for texts from the Catholic church that had been composed, according to him, in defiance of the Communist regime. In addition, it\u2019s hard not to appreciate the beautiful blending of his music with the acoustically lush Gothic cathedrals, with his tendency towards powerful tonal patterns, and continual striving for a mythological sublime, rivaled by none, except perhaps Wagner.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

His symphony \u201cThe Seven Gates of Jerusalem,\u201d dedicated to Israel\u2019s capital is written in this spirit; as is his \u201cSt. Luke\u2019s Passion,\u201d which marks a transition in his return to more classic tonal values, from the 70s and onward.<\/span><\/p>\n

The verse \u201cLORD, who may sojourn in Your tent? Who shall dwell on Your holy mountain?\u201d is sung by the soprano, directly following the prayer of Jesus at Gethsemane (the tenor and choir at the beginning of the clip represent the end of this prayer), adjacent to the walls of the city. It is joined by a paraphrase of verse 9, \u201cand my body rests secure\u201d – which clarifies the connection between Ps 15 and this point in the narrative.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The soprano does not sing a melody in the usual meaning of the term, but describes a certain tonality that broadens gradually from a single tone to a large range of tones. Her voice merges with noises and the tones of the orchestra in this long night, at the end of which enter a crowd of Jews and Romans, for the scene of the capture and imprisonment of Jesus. You may wish to extend your viewing of the lip beyond the specific verses of the psalm, in order to experience how Penderecki, in his distinctive language, paints this crucial moment.<\/span><\/p>\n","image":false,"embedded_video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SxT3tobBO08?t=85","video_duration":"","show_fb_comments":true,"credit_media":""},"tile":{"top_caption":"The Psalms In Classical Music","main_caption":"Psalms, Jews And Romans","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"A new series - this time: Krzysztof Penderecki","preview_embedded":"","preview_image":false,"preview_video":"https:\/\/youtu.be\/SxT3tobBO08?t=85","external_link":"","link_for_pay":false,"tile_gallery_items":false,"credits":""},"alternate_tile":{"top_caption":"","main_caption":"","main_caption_size":"1","sub_caption":"","hide_media":false},"tile_group":{"preview_image_url":false,"main_caption":"","sub_caption":"","":null,"popup_package_extra_content":"","read_time":""},"home_color":"","home_gallery_top":"","home_gallery_middle":"","home_gallery_book":"","home_gallery_bottom":"","seo":{"seo_title":"","seo_description":"","seo_default_title":"","seo_default_description":""},"links":false},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80901"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=80901"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80901\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":80906,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/80901\/revisions\/80906"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=80901"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=80901"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/wp.929.org.il\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=80901"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
