Symphony No. 4 (Schnittke)
Russian composer Alfred Schnittke wrote his Symphony No. 4 in 1983. It is a choral symphony,〔Wilson, ''New Grove (2001)'', 24:848.〕 written for tenor, countertenor, chorus, and orchestra. It was first performed on April 12, 1984, in Moscow.〔Schnittke xxiii.〕
==Structure==
The symphony is written in a single movement of 22 variations and is approximately 45 minutes in length. Ronald Weitzman writes, "The form of Schnittke's Fourth Symphony () at once cross-shaped and spherical.... The composer draws musically on the three main strands of Christianity—Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant—while underlying this is a three–note semitone interval motif representing synagogue chant, thus symbolizing the Jewish source of Christianity."〔 The result, Ivan Moody writes, is that Schnittke "attempts to reconcile elements of ''znamennïy'' and Gregorian chant, the Lutheran chorale and Synagogue cantillation ... within a dense, polyphonic orchestral texture"〔Moody, ''New Grove (2001)'', 22:566.〕 A tenor and a countertenor also sing wordlessly at two points in the symphony. Words are saved for a finale in which all four types of church music are used contrapuntally〔Weitzman, notes for Chandos 9463, 7.〕 as a four-part choir sings the ''Ave Maria''.〔 The choir can choose whether to sing the ''Ave Maria'' in Russian or Latin.〔 The programmatic intent of using these different types of music, Schnittke biographer Alexander Ivashkin writes, is an insistence by the composer "on the idea ... of the unity of humanity, a synthesis and harmony among various manifestations of belief."〔Ivashkin, ''Schnittke'', 165.〕
