‘Arvo Part
Arvo Part, Miserere
Spiritually moving, sublimely austere, and eloquently expressive, Arvo
Part's "Miserere" is among the Estonian composer's most profound
statements within his growing liturgical canon. In the years since this
recording's release, Part has become well-known for his unique
compositional style, in which, with the simplest of tools, he creates an
impression of music suspended in time, where sound, melody, and
harmony mingle in such a way that we sense both movement and stasis.
With its opening chant-like melody, minor triad harmony, solo voice, and
clarinet, "Miserere" quietly unfolds as if from an eternal existence--until
suddenly, the mood is shattered as a chorus and larger instrumental
contingent deliver a harrowing rendition of the "Dies irae." In the calm that
follows, quietness holds as much meaning as musical sound. And so Part
leads us on an unforgettable joumey—a musical miracle, faithfully and
reverently proclaimed by the masters of this repertoire, the Hilliard
Ensemble. --David Vernier
Performance by the Hilliard Ensemble and the Western Wind Chamber
Choir, Paul Hillier conducting. Recorded at St. Jude-on-the-Hill,
Hampstead, London.

Miserere mei, Deus,
secundum magnam misericordiam tuam:
Et secundum multitudinem miserationum tuarum,
dele iniquitatem meam.
Have mercy upon me, O God,
according to thy loving kindness:
according unto the multitude of thy tender mercies,
blot out my transgressions.
Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea,
Et a peccato meo munda me.
Wash me throughly from mine iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin.
Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego cognosco,
Et peccatum meum contra me est semper.
For | acknowledge my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
Dies irae, dies illa
Solvet saeclum in favilla:
Teste David cum
A day of wrath that day shall be,
when the earth dissolves in ashes:
so David and the Sybil prophesied.
