Krzysztof Penderecki: Symphony no.7 “The Seven Gates of Jerusalem”
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Krzysztof Penderecki wrote his Seventh Symphony, subtitled “Seven Gates of Jerusalem”, in 1996 to commemorate the third millennium of the city of Jerusalem. Originally conceived as an oratorio, this choral symphony was premièred in Jerusalem in January 1997; it was only after the first Polish performance two months later that Penderecki decided to call it a symphony. It is written for two sopranos, alto, tenor, bass, narrator, chorus and orchestra.
The symphony is written in seven movements and lasts approximately 60 minutes:
Magnus Dominus et laudabilis nimis in civitate (Great is the Lord, and to be praised, from Psalm 48)
Si oblitus fuero tui, Ierusalem (If I forget you, Jerusalem, from Psalm 137)
De profundis (Out of the depths, Psalm 130)
Si oblitus fuero tui, Ierusalem (If I forget you, Jerusalem)
Lauda, Jerusalem, Dominum (Praise the Lord, Jerusalem, Psalm 147)
Hajetà alai jad adonài (The hand of the Lord was upon me, Ezechiel 37, 1–10)
Haec dicit Dominus (Thus says the Lord)
