about

GETHSEMANE (2009)
Yegor Shevstov, Piano

“Gethsemane” is a refection on Christ and the disciples’ upward ascent to the garden, and his journey of preparation leading to His prayers before the abduction. Many dance references ranging from Joplin’s Treemonisha, Bach’s English Suites, Harlem Stride, and contemporary rhythms inspired the first section. The approaching fullness of time, moving Christ and his disciples up the hill with increasing intensity, was like the pull of a giant magnet. Rhythmic displacement and occasionally jagged rhythms infer the immense gravitas of the moment. For the next section, I had to expand my contrapuntal language to do my best to humanly depict a gentle love-filled dialogue between the Father and the Son. The following sections develop these first two in a non-linear fashion which ends with a prayer, and the final tolling of the bell three times (representing each element of the Trinity) followed by a three-note chord to finish the work, again reflecting the complete unity of the Trinity.
