Tuomiosunnuntain vastausmusiikki
by Jyrki Linjama
Judgement Sunday Responsary, Judgment Sunday Responsory
Description
The Tapiola Church in Espoo commissioned the work as a Responsory for Judgment Sunday, a setting of a text from the Old Testament. It was first performed by Kaisa-Leena Harjunmaa on the final Sunday in the 1999 church year, and the music served as a commentary or reaction to verses 1-6 of Psalm 50. "The mighty God, even the Lord, hath spoken, and called the earth from the rising of the sun unto the going down thereof. Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined. Our God shall come, and shall not keep silence: a fire shall devour before him, and it shall be very tempestuous round about him. He shall call to the heavens from above, and to the earth, that he may judge his people. 'Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with my sacrifice.' And the heavens shall declare his righteousness: for God is judge himself." © Jyrki Linjama translation by © Susan Sinisalo Tapiolan seurakunta Espoossa tilasi Tuomiosunnuntain vastausmusiikin liturgiseksi musiikiksi, responsoriaksi Tuomiosunnuntain vanhan testamentin apokalyptiseen profetiatekstiin. Kantaesitys, jossa soitti Kaisa-Leena Harjunmaa, oli kirkkovuoden 1999 viimeisen sunnuntain jumalanpalveluksessa, jossa musiikki toimi kommentaarina, reaktiona Psalmin 50 jakeisiin 1-6. "Jumala, Herra Jumala on puhunut ja kutsunut koolle koko maanpiirin, idän ääriltä kaukaiseen länteen saakka. Siionista, täydellisen kauniista, Jumala ilmestyy kirkkaudessaan. Meidän Jumalamme tulee, hän ei enää vaikene. Tuhon tuli kulkee hänen edellään, myrsky raivoaa hänen ympärillään. Hän kutsuu todistajikseen taivaan ja maan, hän vaatii kansansa tilille. 'Kootkaa luokseni kaikki minun palvelijani, jotka ovat uhrein tehneet kanssani liiton.' Taivaat julistavat Jumalan hurskautta. Hän on oikeuden Jumala." © Jyrki Linjama
