John Tavener - Funeral Canticle
This is the first song played in the movie The Tree of Life, it isn't on the official OST so I decided to track down a FLAC version (trust me, that wasn't easy) and put it online.
So here it is in all its glory, for you to enjoy.
This is the full (23:55) version.
Kudos to Epsil for helping out *big time*!

Ikon of Light, for chorus and string trio

Ikon of Light, for chorus and string trio
Year: 1984
Genre: Other Choral
Pr. Instrument: Chorus/Choir

2.Piu Intensita
3.Trisagion I
4a.Mystic Prayer to the Holy Spirit

One of John Tavener's best known and most important compositions, Ikon of Light had its origin when he browsed through a bookshop and found the "Invocation to the Holy Spirit" by St. Symeon the New Theologian, one of the greatest Orthodox mystical writers. Tavener's hope was to write a work as free of novelty and ego as an Orthodox ikon. In the preface to the score, he says he wanted to "express the inexpressible, i.e., 'uncreated light'."
The piece is in seven movements, the three first being mirrored by the last three around a central movement, which is a choral setting of the St. Symeon text.
The first movement is a very dramatic setting of the single Greek word "Fos," or "Light." A string trio pre-echoes powerful choral projections of the word. Each recurrence of this pattern is twice the duration of the previous one.
The second movement incorporates, unchanged, a prior Tavener composition, Doxa, the Greek word for "Glory." Again, it uses the single word as the entire text.
The third movement, "Trisagion (I)" is a setting of the Orthodox "Thrice-Holy Hymn." The traditional Byzantine melody is used, passing from solo baritone through all the male voices, then to the string trio.
St. Symeon's text is a recitation of qualities of the Holy Spirit. Tavener in the fourth movement turned to a new preoccupation of his, "magic squares" of notes that produced musical palindromes. This movement is as long as the other six movements put together, and is divided into five parts. Each new musical statement of the first section begins with the same five-note figure, based on the Greek word "Elthe," (Come) since each verse of St.; Symeon's text begins with that word. The second part is for string trio only, setting out the palindrome in a straightforward manner. By the time the ending is reached, a shining shower of notes accompanies the line "Come, true light."
Trisagion (II) repeats the corresponding earlier movement, with the melody moving to the sopranos. Fos (II) reflects the original opening movement, now with showering downward notes. The final movement, "Epiphania," is an inversion of the choral "Doxa," with a brilliant string texture accompanying.
The work was successfully premiered in the summer of 1984 at Tewkesbury Abbey by Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars, and they soon recorded it for LP release.

Norwegian soprano Solveig Kringelborn solos here with the words of the grieving Mary in a stunning, ethereal setting by John Tavener that has been described as 'the Pietà in sound'.

[ Text: ]
Woe is me, my Child!
I see Thee, dearest and beloved Child,
hanging upon the cross,
and my heart is bitterly wounded.
But in Thy love, speak some word to Thy handmaiden.
Woe is me, my Child!
I wish to take my son down from the wood
and to hold Him in my arms
as once I held Him when He was a little child;
But alas, there is no-one to give Him to me.
Woe is me, my Child!
I see Thee bruised and wounded,
without glory, stripped upon the cross.
O my Child, and my heart burns.
Woe is me, my Child!
In my arms, I hold Thee as a corpse,
O loving Lord, who has brought the dead back to life;
Grievously is my heart wounded,
and I long to die with Thee,
for I cannot bear to look upon Thee lifeless and without breath.
Woe is me, my Child!
I reflect, O Master: how never again shall I hear Thy voice.
Never again shall Thy handmaiden see the beauty of Thy face
as in the past, for Thou, my Son,
hast sunk down before mine eyes.
Woe is me, my child!
Where dost thou go, my Child?
Why dost thou run so swiftly?
Is there another wedding in Cana,
and are thou hastening there to turn the water into wine?
Shall I go with thee, my child,
or shall I wait for thee?
Speak some word to me, O Word;
Do not pass me by in silence.
Thou hast preserved my virginity,
and thou art my Son and God.
Woe is me, my child!
Release me from agony
and take me with Thee, O my Son and God.
Let me also descend with Thee, O Master, into Hell.
Leave me not to live alone,
for I cannot bear to look upon Thee, my sweet Light.
Woe is me, my child!
Dost thou change my grief to gladness by Thy Resurrection?
Rise, O God, and judge the Earth!
Rise, O God, and judge the Earth!
Woe is me, my Child.

Sir John Kenneth Tavener (born 28 January 1944) is a British composer, best known for such religious, minimal works as "The Whale", and "Funeral Ikos". He began as a prodigy; in 1968, at the age of 24, he was described by the Guardian as "the musical discovery of the year", while The Times said he was "among the very best creative talents of his generation." During his career he has become one of the best known and regarded composers of his generation. Tavener was knighted in 2000 for his services to music and has won an Ivor Novello Award.
John Kenneth Tavener was born on 28 January 1944 in Wembley, London, England, and claims to be a direct descendant of the 16th-century composer John Taverner. He was educated at Highgate School (where a fellow pupil was John Rutter) and at the Royal Academy of Music, where his tutors included Sir Lennox Berkeley. He first came to prominence in 1968 with his dramatic cantata The Whale, based on the Old Testament story of Jonah. It was premièred at the London Sinfonietta's début concert and later recorded by Apple Records. The following year he began teaching at Trinity College of Music, London. Other works released by Apple included his Celtic Requiem. In 1977, he joined the Russian Orthodox Church. Orthodox theology and Orthodox liturgical traditions became a major influence on his work. He was particularly drawn to its mysticism, studying and setting to music the writings of Church Fathers and competing a setting of the Liturgy of St John Chrysostom, the principal eucharistic liturgy of the Orthodox Church.

One of John Tavener's best known and most important compositions, Ikon of Light had its origin when he browsed through a bookshop and found the "Invocation to the Holy Spirit" by St. Symeon the New Theologian, one of the greatest Orthodox mystical writers. Tavener's hope was to write a work as free of novelty and ego as an Orthodox ikon. In the preface to the score, he says he wanted to "express the inexpressible, i.e., 'uncreated light'."
The piece is in seven movements, the three first being mirrored by the last three around a central movement, which is a choral setting of the St. Symeon text.
The first movement is a very dramatic setting of the single Greek word "Fos," or "Light." A string trio pre-echoes powerful choral projections of the word. Each recurrence of this pattern is twice the duration of the previous one.
The second movement incorporates, unchanged, a prior Tavener composition, Doxa, the Greek word for "Glory." Again, it uses the single word as the entire text.
The third movement, "Trisagion (I)" is a setting of the Orthodox "Thrice-Holy Hymn." The traditional Byzantine melody is used, passing from solo baritone through all the male voices, then to the string trio.
St. Symeon's text is a recitation of qualities of the Holy Spirit. Tavener in the fourth movement turned to a new preoccupation of his, "magic squares" of notes that produced musical palindromes. This movement is as long as the other six movements put together, and is divided into five parts. Each new musical statement of the first section begins with the same five-note figure, based on the Greek word "Elthe," (Come) since each verse of St.; Symeon's text begins with that word. The second part is for string trio only, setting out the palindrome in a straightforward manner. By the time the ending is reached, a shining shower of notes accompanies the line "Come, true light."
Trisagion (II) repeats the corresponding earlier movement, with the melody moving to the sopranos. Fos (II) reflects the original opening movement, now with showering downward notes. The final movement, "Epiphania," is an inversion of the choral "Doxa," with a brilliant string texture accompanying.
The work was successfully premiered in the summer of 1984 at Tewkesbury Abbey by Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars, and they soon recorded it for LP release.

Woe is me, my Child!
I see Thee, dearest and beloved Child,
hanging upon the cross,
and my heart is bitterly wounded.
But in Thy love, speak some word to Thy handmaiden.
Woe is me, my Child!
I wish to take my son down from the wood
and to hold Him in my arms
as once I held Him when He was a little child;
But alas, there is no-one to give Him to me.
Woe is me, my Child!
I see Thee bruised and wounded,
without glory, stripped upon the cross.
O my Child, and my heart burns.
Woe is me, my Child!
In my arms, I hold Thee as a corpse,
O loving Lord, who has brought the dead back to life;
Grievously is my heart wounded,
and I long to die with Thee,
for I cannot bear to look upon Thee lifeless and without breath.
Woe is me, my Child!
I reflect, O Master: how never again shall I hear Thy voice.
Never again shall Thy handmaiden see the beauty of Thy face
as in the past, for Thou, my Son,
hast sunk down before mine eyes.
Woe is me, my child!
Where dost thou go, my Child?
Why dost thou run so swiftly?
Is there another wedding in Cana,
and are thou hastening there to turn the water into wine?
Shall I go with thee, my child,
or shall I wait for thee?
Speak some word to me, O Word;
Do not pass me by in silence.
Thou hast preserved my virginity,
and thou art my Son and God.
Woe is me, my child!
Release me from agony
and take me with Thee, O my Son and God.
Let me also descend with Thee, O Master, into Hell.
Leave me not to live alone,
for I cannot bear to look upon Thee, my sweet Light.
Woe is me, my child!
Dost thou change my grief to gladness by Thy Resurrection?
Rise, O God, and judge the Earth!
Rise, O God, and judge the Earth!
Woe is me, my Child.

I could not refrain from dedicating it to Jane and to the memory of her father. The text is in Church Slavonic, and it is used at almost every Russian Orthodox service, perhaps most poignantly after the congregation have kissed the body in an open coffin at an Orthodox funeral. The choir sings as the coffin is closed and borne out of the church, followed by the mourners with lighted candles.

"I began to write Svyati in early 1995: while sketching it, Iearned that John Williams, father of Jane, my dear friend and publisher, was dying. I could not refrain from dedicating it to Jane and to the memory of her father.
The text is in Church Slavonic, and it is used at almost every Russian Orthodox service, perhaps most poignantly after the congregation have kissed the body in an open coffin at an Orthodox funeral. The choir sings as the coffin is closed and borne out of the church, followed by the mourners with lighted candles. The cello represents the Priest or Ikon of Christ, and should play at a distance from the choir, perhaps at the opposite end of the building. As is Greek drama, choir and priest are in dialogue with each other. Since the cello represents the Ikon of Christ, it must be played without any sentiment of a Western character, but should derive from the chanting of the Eastern Orthodox Church."

John Tavener - 1968 The Whale
The Whale (1968) Apple's Avant Adventure Back in the day, some of us bought up practically anything that appeared on The Beatles' Apple Records. Much of it was forgettable, of course, but John Tavener's The Whale was not. The Whale is a challenging, two-part, half hour mix of esoteric, avant garde classical adventurism -- a kindred spirit of 2001: A Space Odyssey's "Lux Aeterna" (for 16 unaccompanied voices) and Frank Zappa's later, neo-operatic musings for 200 Motels. Unlike most Apple artists, Tavener went on to enjoy a successful career that would render The Whale a footnote. Worth a listen for those who thought "Revolution #9″ was a good start for Apple.

John Tavener was probably the best known English composer of his generation, letting perform his Song for Athena in Princess Diana’s funeral and composing music for the Year 2000 celebrations, among other important engagements. Beginning his career in the 1960’s as a minimalist in the line of Steve Reich, he soon was to follow the mainstream evolution into postminimalism, becoming a sacred minimalist. A fervent convert to the Orthodox Church, he composed this musical Orthodox Ikon based upon St John’s Gospel that depicts scenes of the life of Christ, his death and resurrection, the birth of the Church and the hope for his Second Coming.
John Tavener fue probablemente el compositor mejor conocido de su generación, habiendo permitido ejecutar su Canto para Atenea durante el funeral de la Princesa Diana y componiendo la música para las celebraciones del año 2000 entre otros compromisos. Comenzando su carrera en la década de 1960 como un minimalista en la vena de Steve Reich, pronto seguiría la evolución propia hacia el postminimalismo, convirtiéndose en un minimalista sacro. Un ferviente converso a la Iglesia Ortodoxa, él compuso este Ícono Ortodoxo en música basándose en el Evangelio de San Juan que muestra varias escenas de la vida de Cristo, su muerte y resurrección, el nacimiento de la Iglesia y la espera por su Segunda Venida.

Apple's Avant Adventure

The Whale is a challenging, two-part, half hour mix of esoteric, avant garde classical adventurism -- a kindred spirit of 2001: A Space Odyssey's "Lux Aeterna" (for 16 unaccompanied voices) and Frank Zappa's later, neo-operatic musings for 200 Motels. Unlike most Apple artists, Tavener went on to enjoy a successful career that would render The Whale a footnote. Worth a listen for those who thought "Revolution #9″ was a good start for Apple.
The Whale, Part 1 (18:26)
The Whale, Part 2 (13:15)
The Whale has eight sections:
I. Documentary, II. Melodrama and Pantomime, III. Invocation. IV. The Storm,
V. The Swallowing, VI. The Prayer. VII. In the Belly, and VIII. The Vomiting.
Sir John Kenneth Tavener (born 28 January 1944) is a British composer, best known for such religious, minimal works as "The Whale", and "Funeral Ikos". He began as a prodigy; in 1968, at the age of 24, he was described by the Guardian as "the musical discovery of the year", while The Times said he was "among the very best creative talents of his generation." During his career he has become one of the best known and regarded composers of his generation. Tavener was knighted in 2000 for his services to music and has won an Ivor Novello Award.
The Whale is a "dramatic cantata" written by the English composer John Tavener in 1966. The work is loosely based on the biblical allegory of Jonah and the Whale, although Tavener admitted that "The 'fantasy' grew and perhaps at times nearly 'swallowed' the biblical text: so the swallowing of Jonah became almost 'literal' in the biblical sense."
The libretto includes the words of an encyclopaedia entry describing certain facts about the whale, and this is contrasted with themes within the music which attempt to portray the reality of the whale itself, whose existence is greater than the sum of all the facts about it.
It was premiered at a the inaugural concert of the London Sinfonietta under David Atherton at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on 24 January 1968. It was heard again at a Proms concert on 1 August 1969, with the same orchestra and conductor, with soloists Anna Reynolds, Raimund Herincx, Alvar Lidell and the composer playing pipe and hammond organs. In July 1970, The Whale was recorded in Islington, London with the same musicians.

The Eternal Sun - John Tavener
This is tribute to Sir John Kenneth Tavener (28 Jan. 1944 -- 12 Nov. 2013). Recording by Youth Choir "Kamēr..." as a part of their project World Sun Songs: http://www.kamer.lv/content/view/1/2/lang,EN/ JOHN TAVENER'S NOTE: Frithjof Schuon's poem The Eternal Sun speaks of our earthly sun as a reflection of the Divine Sun which no earthly eye can see, and the music reflects this in its mirror images. The opening music for the main choir should glow with magnificence and splendour, representing the unattainability of the Heavenly Sun, but the later passages, especially the music for the distant semi-chorus, should be more nostalgic and haunting. LYRICS: THE ETERNAL SUN In the sky shines the sun which God conceived As the image of another Sun, whose light No earthly eye can reach - Earth c... -

This is tribute to Sir John Kenneth Tavener (28 Jan. 1944 -- 12 Nov. 2013).
Recording by Youth Choir "Kamēr..." as a part of their project World Sun Songs: http://www.kamer.lv/content/view/1/2/lang,EN/
JOHN TAVENER'S NOTE:
Frithjof Schuon's poem The Eternal Sun speaks of our earthly sun as a reflection of the Divine Sun which no earthly eye can see, and the music reflects this in its mirror images. The opening music for the main choir should glow with magnificence and splendour, representing the unattainability of the Heavenly Sun, but the later passages, especially the music for the distant semi-chorus, should be more nostalgic and haunting.
LYRICS:
THE ETERNAL SUN
In the sky shines the sun which God conceived
As the image of another Sun, whose light
No earthly eye can reach - Earth cannot see Divine Mystery.
The sun's splenhour, standing proudly in the sky,
Is not eternal - see how it sets.
Frithjof Schuon
Personal Note:
I do not own any rights to this music and do not make any money with this either. I simply want this music to live on and be known to the world. I didn't find any recordings of The Eternal Sun online.
I sang this piece with the University of Washington Chorale (somewhere around 2009). It was a collaboration of University Chorale and Chamber Singers under the direction of Geoffrey Boers.

Art show with Ron English
Says I’m a worthless bum
You know they call me a worthless bum
You know I had my share of chums
But I’m a worthless bum, says I
You might be thinkin’ of Davinare
You might be thinkin’ of things that scare
Whatever you’re thinking, I don’t care
To be stripped bare
Worthless bum says I
I never deny a precious gift
You know I probably stole all my riffs
But I’m a worthless bum, says I
Oh, can’t you see
You belong to me
How my poor heart aches
Every move you make
You know if things get outta hand
You know I’m the one who understands
Without or with you I’m just doin’, doin’ fine
You know I probably stole all my poetry
Even they took the most of it from me
But I will go on through the infinite
Believin’ the lie
Worthless bum says I
You know who that I hear is pretty good
Understand, I’m a worthless bum
Worthless bum says I
You know I never tried to rip you off
Never tried to take your life
Worthless bum says I
If you were me
And I was you
Then everything’s alright
We’re outta sight
Worthless bum
