Eduard Artemyev: “Nine Steps to Transfiguration” for chorus, soloists, orchestra and organ”

Overview

“Nine Steps to Transfiguration” for chorus, soloists, orchestra and organ”.
The work was conceived by Eduard Artemyev in the 80s of the last century. After several numbers were written, the author postponed the score for almost 30 years. Eduard Artemyev dedicated his new opus to the artistic director and chief conductor of The Moscow State Academic Chamber Choir – Vladimir Minin.

“The work will be called“ Nine Steps to the Transfiguration ”, – said Eduard Nikolaevich about the composition. - The classical canon is not violated there, everything goes according to the texts. I omitted some things, rearranged the parts: Sanctus put it in the final. This genre draws the public to a concentrated deepening into oneself and a meeting with God. "

According to Artemyev, Nine Steps to Transfiguration is a free interpretation of the canonical Mass, performed not in the ascetic manner usual for this genre, but with the use of synthesizers and a rock band: “... a symphony orchestra is not enough for me. I need a sound that rock musicians came up with, my favorite sound. Shining, mighty. We need power, expression, which I often lack in an orchestra. "

Artemyev began his experiments with sound at the Moscow Experimental Studio of Electronic Music in the late 60s. He began to mix "live" (orchestral) and "lifeless" synthesizer sounds in his music even before this practice took root in Hollywood (where Artemyev worked for several years).

“It's not enough for me to write a Mass for the choir alone, as Arkhangelsky and Kastalsky did,” the composer says. “The synthesizer is the greatest machine. I think this instrument has more possibilities than strings. And I take into account that it will be played "live" - under the conductor's hand. "
