We were saddened to learn of the passing of John Tavener, English composer of concert music based on the Christian Orthodox liturgy.
John Tavener composed “Jesus Prayer” specifically for Björk Guðmundsdóttir’s voice.
She posted the following message on her website: “John tavener : i feel honoured that i got to know him … and that he wrote one song for my voice … incredibly pure composer
condolences to his family
warmth,
björk.”
