Vitam impendere vero To risk one’s life for truth

In memoriam Anna Politkovskaya

Setting the English text of Anna Politkovskaya’s final published article,

with three Russian poems by the poetess Marina Tsvetayeva, for eight-part chorus (SSAATTBB) and mezzo-soprano solo a cappella

Eric Banks

Composed for The Esoterics in December 2007, for performance in the concert KANON.

About this work On 7 October 2006, the acclaimed Russian journalist Anna Politkovskaya was murdered in her Moscow apartment building. An outspoken reporter and human rights activist, Politkovskaya was known for her courage – for documenting the atrocities of the military conflict in Chechnya, as well as for her standing in stark opposition to Russian president Vladimir Putin. (Ms Politkovskaya, whose killer to the present day has not been found, was murdered on Putin’s birthday.)

Several weeks after Politkovskaya’s murder and in response to her tragic death, the esteemed Estonian composer Arvo Pärt made a significant global pronouncement: that every concert performance of any of his compositions in 2007 would be dedicated to Anna Politkovskaya’s memory. Pärt’s dedication to Politkovskaya caused me to program his Kanon pokajanen [Canon of repentance] as The Esoterics’ first concert in 2008, but also inspired me to read and study her life and work, and ultimately, to compose this piece.

Anna was born in 1958, the daughter of two Russian diplomats to the UN, and was raised on the Upper West Side of New York City. She attended college at MGU (Moscow State University), where she studied literature, and wrote a thesis on the verses of the Russian poetess Marina Tsvetayeva. After college, she abandoned the privilege of her American upbringing to take a job as a reporter for the alternative newpaper Novaya gazeta. It is for this publication that Anna performed her heroic reportage from Chechnya, for which she was imprisoned, poisoned, raped, and ultimately killed.

In this work, several phrases of text from Politkovskaya’s last published article in English have been adapted and scored for mezzo-soprano soloist. These phrases were first published in The Washington Post on 15 October 2006, and were translated by Arch Tait. Mr Tait has kindly granted his permission for me to include these words in this piece. I have also received permission to set Anna’s words from her publisher, English Pen, the executor of her estate, and her family.

In alternation with the English text of the mezzo-soprano solo, in which Politkovskaya foresees her own murder, I have set the Russian verses of three poems by her favorite poet, Marina Tsvetayeva: Untitled (Along the golden path, undated), I know the truth (3 October 1915), Truth (27 August 1910). These three poems are sung by the chorus, and provide the frame for Politkovskaya’s own prescient text. The third of these poems, Truth, was inscribed with the Latin phrase, Vitam impendere vero. This phrase, which translates as “to risk one’s life for truth,” serves as a poetic connection between Anna and Marina, and a linguistic link between their English and Russian verses. As a tribute to Anna’s unmitigated courage, her profound commitment to social justice, and her ultimate sacrifice for what she believed to be true, I chose this phrase as the title of my work.

Pronunciation of Russian This score is notated with the following symbols from the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA): Vowel glyphs ` as in lot D as in let h as in leap H as in lip n as in loan U as in luck t as in loom î not found in English, this vowel is most often sung as a diphthong:

the velar approximative (“Lucy in trouble”) followed by a short h Consonant glyphs acefgjklmorsuy are all pronounced as in English £ a glottal stroke, occurring before an initial vowel & a palatal glide, just like the English x q voiced dental trill, as in Italian ragazzi w unvoiced velar fricative, as in the German Bach R unvoiced palatal fricative, as in the English sharesR unvoiced palatal plosive, as in the English chairY voiced palatal fricative, as in the English pleasure For English speakers, the biggest challenge of singing in Russian is the number of consonant that occur at the beginning of many words. Fortunately, many Russian words also end with vowels. So, it is possible to connect (retrogressively) some of the members of a word’s initial consonant cluster with the vowel that end the preceding word. While this type of retroactive elision is not notated in this score, most singers will, with practice, be able to negotiate strings of three or four consonant – once they get used to combining these sounds. ©2015 Eric Banks

Texts, transliterations, and translations По дорожке жёлтой ласкового сада oUc`qnYjHYnksU&k`rjUuUuUr`cU

Along the golden path of a gentle garden, Тихо листья падали, падали шурша. shwUkhrs&Uo`cUkHo`cUkHRtqR`

The leaves fell softly; rustling, as they fell. От улыбки светлой солнечного взгляда £Us£tkîajHru&DskU&rnkmHsRmUuUuyfk&`cU

Under the shimmering smile of the sun’s gaze, Захотелось нежиться тихо, не спеша. yUw`s&DkUrm&DYîsr&UshwUmHroHR`

I wanted to savor the quiet, without any hurry. I am a pariah. What is the crime that has earned me this label? I have merely reported on what I have witnessed, and no more than that. I am not an investigator, but someone who describes the life around me for those who cannot see it for themselves. Было жаль заката радостно огнистого, aîkUY`kyUj`sUq`cUrmU£UfmhrsUuU

It was a pity that the fiery sun set so willingly, Этой зыбкой радуги красок и тонов, £DsU&yîojU&q`ctfHjq`rUj£hs`mne

With its flickering rainbow of tints and tones; И цветов задумчивых у болота мглистого, £hsreHsneyUctlsRîuHw£taUknsUlfkhrsUuU

Its contemplative colors mingled in the hazy bog, Всей осенней музыки, музыки без слов. er&D&£`r&DmmD&ltyHjHltyHjHaHyrkne

And filled the autumn with music: songs without words. All of the top officials talk to me, but only in secret, where they can't be observed: in the open air, in squares, in secret houses that we approach by different routes, as if we were spies. Vitam impendere vero. To risk one’s life for truth.

Мир утомлённый вздохнул от смятений, lhqÕts`lk&nmmHuycUwmtkÕUsrlHs&DmH

The weary world has sighed in its confusion, Розовый вечер струит забытьё... qnyUuHu&DsRHqrsqthsyUaîs&n

The crimson evening radiates forgetfulness; Нас разлучили не люди, а тени, m`rqUyktsRhkHmHk&tcHÕUs&DmH

We are distinguished not as people, but as shadows, Мальчик мой, сердце моё! l`ksRHjln&r&DqsrHlU&n

My love, my heart! They say: "Those who are not with us are against us; and those who are against us must be destroyed." When someone threatens to kill you, you are protected by their enemies. But tomorrow, the threat will come from someone else. Высятся стены, туманом одеты, uîrUsrUrs&DmHstl`mUlnc&DsH

Walls tower above us, enshrouded in mist, Солнце без сил уронило копьё... rnmsrHaHyrhkÕtq`mhkUj`o&n

The powerless sun has dropped its spear; В мире вечернем мне холодно. Где ты, ulhqHuHsRDqmHllm&DwnkUcmUfc&Dsî

In this twilight world, I am cold. Where are you, Мальчик мой, сердце моё? l`ksRHjln&r&DqsrHlU&n

My love, my heart? Certain people are afraid for me, and I find that very touching. They fear for me more than I fear for myself, and that is how I survive. Why do I go on at such length? Ты не услышишь. Надвинулись стены, sîmHÕtrkîRîRmUcuhmtkHrrs&DmH

You will not hear. The walls have drawn near, Всё потухает, сливается всё. er&noUstw`&HsrkHu`&HsrUer&n

Everything dims, everything fades. Не было, нет и не будет замены, m&DaîkUm&DsÕhmHatcHsyUl&DmH

There was, there is, and there will be no alternative, Мальчик мой, сердце моё! l`ksRHjln&r&DqsrHlU&n

My love, my heart! I will not go into the other joys of the path that I have chosen: the poisoning, the arrests, the warnings in letters and over the Internet, and death threats over the telephone, and of course, the constant derision in articles that present me as the madwoman of Moscow.

Я знаю правду! Все прежние правды - прочь! &`ym`&toqùcter&Doq&DYmH&DoqùcHoqnsR

I know the truth! All other truths – be gone! Не надо людям с людьми на земле бороться. mHm`cUk&tc&Ulrk&tclhmUyHlk&Da`qnsrU

There is no need for people to struggle anywhere. Смотрите: вечер, смотрите: уж скоро ночь. rlUsqhsHu&DsRHqrlUsqhsH£tYrjnqUmnsR

Look: it is evening; see: it will soon be night. О чём – поэты, любовники, полководцы? ÕUsRnlonDsHk&tanemHjHoUkjùncsrî

What of it – poets, lovers, commanders? They say: "Have you nothing better to worry about?" Pretend it never happened! We’re telling you this for your own good.” But how can I forget it, when it did happen? Уж ветер стелется, уже земля в росе, ÕtYu&DsHqrs&DkHsrUÕtYHyHlk&ùq`r&D

The wind is already calm, and the earth is wet with dew, Уж скоро звёздная в небе застынет вьюга, ÕtYrjnqUyu&nymU&Uum&DaHyUrsîmHsu&tfU

Before long, a starry blizzard will freeze in the sky; И под землёю скоро уснём мы все, ÕhoncyHlk&n&trjnqUÕtrm&nllîer&D

And beneath the earth, we will all soon slumber, Кто на земле не давали уснуть друг другу. jsnm`yHlk&DmHcUu`kHÕtrmtscqtjcqtft

We who, while above it, never let each other sleep. My life can be difficult; more often, humiliating. I am, after all, not so young. Vitam impendere vero. To risk one’s life for truth.

Захотелось крикнуть мне в эту даль прозрачную: yUw`s&DkUrjqhjmtslm&DuDstc`koq`yq`sRmt&t

I wanted to cry out, clear to the other end of the earth: “Прочь тоска, сомнения, прочь отвага мрачная. oqnsRs`rj`r`lm&DmH&òqnsR`su`fUlq`sRmU&U

“Be gone – anguish and doubt; away – somber courage. Жизнь! Будь вечной сказкою, жизнь, остановись!” Yîymatsu&dsRmU&rj`yjU&tYîymUrsUmùhr

Life – be an everlasting story, remain this way forever!” I find it disgusting to live this way. I would like a bit more understanding. The important thing, however, is to get on with my job: to describe the life that I see, and to receive those every day who have nowhere else to bring their troubles. С этой думой странною, как мечта, неверною, rDsU&ctlU&rsq`mmU&tj`jlHsRs`mHu&DqmU&t

With this strange thought, like an unbelievable dream, Тихим, ясным вечером шла я не спеша, shwHl&`rmHlu&DsRîqUlRk`&`mHroHR`

I went into the clear and quiet evening, without any hurry, А вокруг томительно, с тишиною мерною £UuUjqtjs`lhsHkmUrsHRîmn&tl&DqmU&t

And with weariness all around me, in measured silence, Тихо листья падали, падали шурша. shwUkhrs&Uo`cUkHo`cUkHRtqR`

The leaves fell softly; rustling, as they fell. I know the truth. Vitam impendere vero. To risk one’s life for truth. Duration: approximately 17’
