From Our Editors
It's not unusual for a piece of music to be recorded even dozens of different times. It isn't so common, however, for that to happen on the same disc. But, overall, there's not that much ordinariness about Arvo P¤rt's music. Alina includes two versions of his sparsely beautiful "F¼r Alina," along with three haunting takes on "Spiegel im Spiegel." The name of this last track means "Mirror in Mirror," which is just what the song sounds like – each instrument reflects what the other is playing and adds its own contribution to the phrase until a complex tune emerges.

Vai a: Navigazione cerca Arvo P¤rt (o Paart Paide 11 settembre ) ¨ un musicista estone Compositore contemporaneo legato al minimalismo . Dopo gli esordi, in cui il suo linguaggio utilizzava tecniche come la dodecafonia ed il collage , fu coniato proprio per la sua musica il termine di minimalismo sacro , di cui ¨ un riconosciuto esponente assieme ad autori come Henryk G³recki e John Tavener . ˆ un compositore apprezzato soprattutto per la semplicit  dell'ascolto e la trasparenza emotiva delle sue opere.

  • Biografia Lo stile Opere
    modifica Biografia
    Arvo P¤rt inizi² effettivamente a comporre nel con le Zwei Sonatinen per pianoforte . Gli studi sulla dodecafonia e la serialit  post weberniana lo condussero a sperimentare i sistemi compositivi delle avanguardie dell'epoca. Nonostante questo giunse alla conclusione che "la sua convivenza con l' atonalit  lo stava portando a un vicolo cieco", cos¬ decise di approfondire il barocco e il canto gregoriano conducendo contemporaneamente una ricerca di semplificazione progressiva nella sua musica, allo scopo di eliminare il "superfluo" e l'esagerazione dalle sue composizioni. Il risultato fu la creazione di un nuovo stile molto rigoroso ed originale: il tintinnabuli , costruito interamente su triadi e scale tonali , dove l'impiego della voce umana ¨ di rilevante importanza.

In an attempt to extricate himself from what soon became a musical impasse, his next works adopted (and played with) baroque and classical forms and incorporated borrowed tonal gestures the brief Quintettino Collage on B-A-C-H (1964) and the cello concerto Pro et Contra (1966). With the composition of Credo Orchestral Music Pro et Contra and three symphonies reflect the course his music has taken.

Arvo Part
Do you recall how Michael Moore handled the attack on the World Trade Center in 'Fahrenheit 9/11'?
To the surprise of those who hate him, he did it very, very artfully.
Almost a minute of blank screen, with only sound to tell you what's happening. Sounds of the planes hitting the Towers - sounds you've never heard before - and the human counterpoint: people screaming. Then we see papers blowing in a smoke-filled sky, an abstract image of loss. And music: Arvo Part's 'Cantus In Memory Of Benjamin Britten,' a solemn meditation, with bells and solitary voices and silences between notes.
Whoever picked Arvo Part knew what he/she was doing. Because that is holy music - music that speaks, without intermediaries, to the soul. Which is why, when AIDS first swept across New York City in the 1980s, 'Cantus In Memory Of Benjamin Britten' - from the 'Tabula Rasa' CD - is said to have been a great favorite of dying men in the final weeks of their lives. For this music both acknowledges grief and suggests completion. It is, as Part has described it, 'like light going through a prism.' Who is Arvo Part?

Biography Base Home Link To Us Search Biographies: Browse Biographies A B C D ... Z Arvo Part Biography The composer Arvo Pärt (pronounced "pairt") was born in Estonia in 1935. Although at that time Estonia was a nascent independent republic, the Soviet Union took control of it in 1940, and stayed except for a brief period under the Nazis, for the next 54 years.
Arvo PärtPärt's musical education began at age 7, and by 14 or 15 he was writing his own compositions. While studying composition at the Tallinn Conservatory it was said of him that: "he just seemed to shake his sleeves and notes would fall out". There were very few influences from outside the Soviet Union at this time, just a few illegal tapes and scores.
Pärt's oeuvre is generally divided into two periods, and he is best known for his more recent works. The early works range from rather severe neo-classical styles influences by Shostakovich, Prokofiev and Bartók. He then began to compose using Schoenberg's twelve-tone technique and serialism, but this not only earned the ire of the Soviet establishment, but also proved to be a creative dead end. Pärt's biographer, Paul Hillier, says:
"... he had reached a position of complete despair in which the composition of music appeared to be the most futile of gestures, and he lacked the musical faith and will-power to write even a single note"
