Album Notes
Arvo Pärt's compositions on I AM THE TRUE VINE have a very modern simplicity of line and a hushed delicacy that is absolutely haunting. The composer worked very closely with the conductor and organist to ensure this album is the full realization of his vision for a new liturgical music.
The album takes its name from the second featured composition. Its slowly twisting melodies climb the vocal range in evenly metered steps. The included version of "Berlin Mass" reworked from its original performance in 1990. Written for four singers and an organ, the mass uses the voices like strings, creating sweeping, harmonic lines. Linguistically simple, the lyrics let Pärt's music step easily, syllable by syllable.
Similar techniques distinguish the beauty of the other pieces. The Slavonic lyrics are more complex, "Bogoroditse Devo" and the closely related "Ode IX" from "Kanon Pokajanen" allow for more melodic vocal lines.
