Full biography John Tavener

John Tavener was a renowned British composer, best known for his works in the genres of classical, choral and religious music. Born in London in 1944, Tavener began his musical career as a choirboy at the St. John's College in Cambridge. His interest in music developed when he heard Stravinsky's 'The Rite of Spring' at the age of 15.

John Tavener's music often reflected his deep spiritual beliefs, and he often incorporated religious texts and themes in his compositions. His works were characterized by a sense of mysticism and austerity, often featuring choirs and strings as the main instruments. Some of his most famous works include 'The Protecting Veil', 'Song for Athene', and 'The Lamb'.

One of the key events in Tavener's career was his conversion to the Russian Orthodox Church in 1977. This led to a shift in his work towards the religious and sacred, with many of his compositions featuring texts from the Orthodox liturgy. Tavener's music was admired for its ability to inspire meditation and contemplation, with many of his works being recorded by major classical labels such as Deutsche Grammophon and EMI.

Tavener received numerous awards and recognitions for his contributions to classical music, including being knighted by Queen Elizabeth II in 2000. Sadly, John Tavener passed away in 2013 at the age of 69. Despite his passing, his music continues to be performed and appreciated by classical music enthusiasts all around the world.
