From vast boombox symphonies to chamber music and song cycles, Phil Kline's (b. 1953) work has been hailed for its originality, beauty, subversive subtext, and wit.
John the Revelator is a setting of the traditional Latin Ordinary with propers using a variety of texts, including passages from the Lamentations of Jeremiah, a poem by American poet David Shapiro and Samuel Beckett’s monologue The Unamable. For the proper Dark Was the Night, Kline weaves a wordless fantasy on a 1927 recording by bluesman Willie Johnson. Two American shape-note hymns from the Sacred Harp: Northport and Wondrous Love provide moving bookends to the piece.
Drawing its title from the Blind Willie Johnson song, John The Revelator is a modern day mass containing sixteen songs recorded in August 2007 at the Church of St. Luke In The Fields, Greenwich Village. Kline selects texts from the Old Testament, apocalyptic visions from poet David Shapiro and a monologue from Samuel Beckett all of which contribute to a peculiarly modern reimagining of Christian ceremonial music. In terms of its harmonic make-up this album begins in a traditional enough format, but once the inaugural choral sequence is dispensed with, the uncompromising strings of 'Offertorium' bring a very contemporary sense of uncertainty, as the piece swells with strange and ambiguous drama. Towards the end of themass the choir lose their grip on language altogether, groaning their way through 'Dark Was The Night' , as all the while jagged strings stab and slash around in the background. Powerful stuff.
