Sur un accompagnement au piano combinant des accords arpégés avec des notes rappelant des sons de cloches dans des registres variés, le violon entonne une mélodie soutenue dont les phrases d'une étendue et d'une longueur croissantes reviennent toujours à la tonalité initiale. - *Summa* (1978), qui a commencé son existence sous la forme d'une mise en musique pour quatre voix de la prière du Credo, a depuis été publiée en version quatuor à cordes ou, comme dans cet enregistrement, pour orchestre à cordes. Une séduisante mélodie dotée d'un doux balancement, entièrement basée sur les notes d'un arpège, s'y trouve variée par des changements de rythme et par la rotation régulière des trois combinaisons instrumentales : les deux violons, l’ensemble de l'orchestre, l'alto et le violoncelle. - *Festina Lente* (1988, révisée en 1990) est une œuvre d'une tranquillité imperturbable pour cordes et harpe facultative (cette dernière renforçant certaines notes proches des sons de cloches que jouent les violoncelles et les contrebasses). Son titre est inspiré par un adage favori de l'empereur Auguste ‘’Hâte-toi lentement’’, cette maxime pleine de paradoxe étant symbolisée par le fait que la mélodie se trouve jouée simultanément dans trois tempi différents: les altos exposent le thème avec un tempo modéré, les violons le jouent deux fois plus vite, les violoncelles et les contrebasses à mi-vitesse. De manière caractéristique, Pärt réussit à créer une atmosphère vibrante avec le matériau mélodique te plus simple. - *Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten* (1977), pour orchestre de cordes et cloche seule. dérive entièrement d'une variante de la gamme descendante de la mineur jouée simultanément avec trois vitesses différentes. L'œuvre a été décrite comme ‘une ingénieuse déclaration de guerre à l'atonalité’. Pärt a expliqué ce qui l'a poussé à composer Cantus: 'Pourquoi la date de la mort de Benjamin Britten, le 4 décembre 1976, m’a-t-elle tellement touché ? A l'époque il est évident que j'avais atteint le point où j'étais en mesure de reconnaître la magnitude d'une telle perte...Je venais de découvrir Britten. Juste avant sa mort, j'avais commencé à apprécier la singulière pureté de sa musique...En il y avait longtemps que je voulais rencontrer Britten en personne ce qui était désormais devenu impossible.. *Fratres* qui date de 1977, fut d'abord interprétée par un ensemble de musique ancienne estonien. La pièce a été par la suite adaptée par le compositeur pour plusieurs combinaisons différentes d’instruments. ta version de 1980 qui se trouve enregistrée ici diffère cependant des autres de façon marquante en ce qu'elle constitue un ensemble de variations sur le thème de l'œuvre originale. Cette transformation pour violon et piano de Fratres fut jouée pour la première fois par Gidon et Elena Kremer (à l'intention desquels elle avait été composée) au Festival de Salzbourg en 1980. Venant à ta suite d'une section de prélude nouvellement composée, écrite pour violon sans qui esquisse un crescendo progressif, le thème hypnotique aux accents de psalmodie est joué huit fois par le piano tandis que violon lui superpose des variations d’une simplicité et d’une élégance caractéristiques. - Arvo Pärt PLAYLIST (reference recordings) : kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqate6V6n96InKs

Arvot Pärt is certainly the greatest composer still alive today. We can only recommend that you discover his fascinating world, which perfectly illustrates the tragedy of our times. To sum up, we can agree that Arvot Pärt's music is the sound of silence : The Estonian composer is considered a cult figure of the avant-garde, a man who redefined modernism with music of hypnotic tension and fascinating spirituality. The performers of the orchestral music on this recording are top-quality artists and ensembles from Pärt’s native Estonia. The conductor Paavo Järvi, under the direct influence of the composer, present uniquely authentic readings.

This is very beautiful, thank you. I want to add that those who like Arvo Part should try the music of John Tavener, another 20th century composer whose music is rooted in religious chants. (Not to be confused with John TaveRner, Renaissance composer whose music is also very beautiful.)

It does sound quite a bit like Medieval polyphony--Palestrina, or Victoria, only with instruments instead of voices.

[@kayausiu8090]

In Spiegel im Spiegel, Arvo Paert makes the opening statement with our divine right to breathe. In subsequent passages of the music, a tragic tension builds up, It becomes increasingly more suffocating. Other parts of Estonia, one can witness the same oppression portrayed in the work of Juri Lina, his “In the Shadow of Hermes”. In the Nazi concentration camps of Treblinka nearby, Gorecki portrayed the same oppression and death, updated with new photographs of Gaza. Arvo Paert says it all eloquently with his Tintintabuli tolling bells. Henry Kissinger who passed away a few days ago at 100, a friend of the Chinese regime, came to China no less than sixty times since his first visit to see Chairman Mao. He has replaced his organs no less than six times. High school students are now made to sign a document to offer up their organs as their own free will. Evil once more has attempted to take over our Divine World, at least for now.

Just for the record, this is very distinctly and obviously not minimalism. Mistaking it for that is a sign of not paying attention. It is actually extremely difficult to compose something like Spiegel im Spiegel, and if you don't believe me, listen to what doesn't happen at the very end.

[@crystalblue64]

wrong.... It is minimalism. Just like Phillip Glass is minimalism. Just because it's difficult to compose doesn't mean that it isn't.

[@talastra]

@@crystalblue64 So, now we are going to have to have a discussion of what constitutes minimalism. Are you up for that?

[@crystalblue64]

@@talastra I don't care from opinion based discussion. Arvart Part has been identified as an established minimalist composer. Despite what my or your opinion is on the matter

[@talastra]

@@crystalblue64 I see. You're just reporting facts, and stating as a fact that my facts are opinions. On what authority, since you require an ad populam? Meanwhile, if you aren't prepared to defend your opinion with anything but a noon-arugment, I guess that's all you don't have. Enjoy.

[@talastra]

@@crystalblue64 The most prominent minimalist composers are John Adams, Louis Andriessen, Philip Glass, Steve Reich, Terry Riley, and La Monte Young.[16] Others who have been associated with this compositional approach include Gavin Bryars, Terry Jennings, Tom Johnson, Michael Nyman, Michael Parsons, Howard Skempton, Dave Smith, James Tenney, and John White.[17][18] Among African-American composers, the minimalist aesthetic was embraced by figures such as jazz musician John Lewis and multidisciplinary artist Julius Eastman.[19][20] Part isn't in that list. Where he is mentioned: In Europe, the music of Louis Andriessen, Karel Goeyvaerts, Michael Nyman, Howard Skempton, Éliane Radigue, Gavin Bryars, Steve Martland, Henryk Górecki, Arvo Pärt and John Tavener exhibits minimalist traits. "Minimalist traits" ... So, in the same breath, one could say that Shostakovich was a "serialist" because he utilized Schoenberg's approach as a technique, but not a core principle of composition.
