WTC Püha Nikolause kreeka õigeusu kirik avatakse Arvo Pärdi uudisteosega

Tänavu sügisel tuleb New Yorgi linnas maailma esiettekandele Arvo Pärdi a cappella kooriteos “O Holy Saint Nicholas” (“Oo, püha Nikolaus”). Teosega avatakse New Yorgi Püha Nikolause õigeusu kirik (St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church and National Shrine at the World Trade Center site).

Teose esiettekanne leiab aset Püha Nikolause kreeka õigeusu kiriku avamise puhul New Yorgi World Trade Center’i nn ground zero alal ning selle toob kuulajateni Hellenic College Schola Cantorum dirigent Benedict Sheehani juhatusel. Uue teose telliski selle sündmuse puhuks Schola Cantorumi koor ja selle asutaja ning kunstiline juht Nektarios S. Antoniou, kes on ühtlasi New Yorgi Püha Kolmainu kiriku peakantor.

Püha Nikolause kirik hävis täielikult 2001. aasta 11. septembri terrorirünnakutes. 20 aastat hiljem algse asupaiga vahetus läheduses avatav uus pühakoda ei ole mõeldud tegutsema ainult õigeusu kirikuna, vaid ka konfessioonideülese rahvusliku pühamuna, mis on avatud palveränduritele üle kogu maailma. Kiriku on projekteerinud Hispaania arhitekt Santiago Calatrava. Kiriku ehitus jäi 2017. aastal rahanappuse tõttu seisma, kuid 2020. aastal siiski ehitustööd taastusid ning avamine toimub loodetavasti 2021. a. sügisel.

Arvo Pärdi sõnul on Püha Nikolause kiriku taasavamine väga eriline sündmus kogu kristlikule maailmale.

“Olen tänulik, et minu muusika saab olla osa sellest sündmusest,” rõhutas helilooja.

Uue, 15-minutilise kooriteose aluseks on ingliskeelne palvetekst, mis pärineb õigeusu liturgiast, püha Nikolaus Imetegija mälestuspüha pealaulust. Sama teksti on Arvo Pärt kasutanud ka varem nii kooriteose “Triodion” kolmandas osas kui ka venekeelsena vokaalansamblile loodud teoses “Alleluia-Tropus”.

Bostonis tegutsev Schola Cantorum on pühendunud peamiselt idakiriku muusika, sealhulgas bütsantsi kirikulaulu esitamisele. 2010. aastal nomineeriti koor Grammy auhinnale heliplaadiga “A Story of the City: Constantinople-Istanbul”.
