For a while, Keith Jarrett has been shown by the sometimes quite confused theories and theses of the esotericist and composer George Ivanovich Gurdjieff influenced. So great Jarrett as a musician is his intellectual preferences are sometimes already used to, because Gurdjieff's ideas and concepts of a "Fourth Way" or pseudo-religious ranting are basically nothing as charlatanism. His compositions are now not even so complex and provide with their mostly rather simple harmonies for Jarrett's musical assets clearly a drastic underload. It knows and appreciates wild runs of Jarrett's right-hand or left-handed, deep Ostinati to which the rights gentle or more expressive improvisations sets. Anyway, it's almost always a flowing lines, while the "Sacred Hymns" often consist of choppy two tones that are often not associated with melody runs. Many pieces sound thus in fact anthemic, as evidenced also the title: "Hymn For Easter Thursday", "Hymn To The Endless Creator", "Easter Hymn" etc. One can certainly hear well, the music has something contemplative, meditative or (who is susceptible :) Religious. While it is completely untypical Jarrett music, but nevertheless it is able to touch in certain situations. And that's a lot of what you can expect from music, even if you can not hear too often the "Sacred Hymns". Very nice is the short piece "The Story Of The Resurrection Of Christ". But the religious title names may not be my house number ...
