Partita of Metanoia
Theodore Jander
About this work:
Metanoia comes from the Greek, meaning changed hearts, changed lives; repentance. As Lent culminates in the events of Holy Week, we are called to metanoia or repentance through the salvation of Jesus Christ.
God’s eternal presence is represented in the melody first heard in movement one. This theme, which is utilized in every movement, is coupled with a hymn tune representative of each major festival day of Holy Week. Metanoia takes place as the hymn tune changes throughout the work culminating on Easter Sunday as Christ’s resurrection is celebrated.
