Rapture (composition)
''Rapture'' is an orchestral composition in one movement by the American composer Christopher Rouse. The work was commissioned by the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra and was completed January 9, 2000. It is dedicated to then Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra music director Mariss Jansons and premiered in May 2000.〔Rouse, Christopher. (Rapture: Program Note by the Composer ). 2000. Retrieved March 11, 2015.〕
==Composition==
''Rapture'' is markedly more tonal than Rouse's earlier compositions.〔 In the program notes to the score, Rouse commented, "With the exception of my Christmas work, ''Karolju'', this is the most unabashedly tonal music I have composed. I wished to depict a progression to an ever more blinding ecstasy, but the entire work inhabits a world devoid of darkness -- hence the almost complete lack of sustained dissonance."〔 The piece is also built around "gradually increasing tempi" gains speed over the course of its roughly 11 minutes.〔〔
Despite the religious title of the work, Rouse did not intend ''Rapture'' to be sacred music. He further commented, "...the piece is not connected to any specific religious source. Rather, I used the word 'rapture' to convey a sense of spiritual bliss, religious or otherwise."〔
