· Estonian composer Arvo Part's timeless music has touched
listeners for decades. He is one of the most performed living
composers.
·
This new release features eight choral pieces which were
written between 1988 and 2012. These works feature some of
Part's finest vocal writing, especially in the three-movement
Triodion and the seven-movement Sieben Magnificat-
Antiphonen.
·
Part is famous for his tintinnabuli style, which he took on
after distancing himself from his earlier writing which
utilized neo-classicism, serialism, and polystylism.
·
Of his style, Part once wrote, "I could compare my music
to white light which contains all colors. Only a prism can
divide the colors and make them appear; this prism could
be the spirit of the listener."
·
The Latvian Radio Choir's prior releases for Ondone
have garnered them critical acclaim. Their recording of
Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil received the Record of
the Month, Editor's Choice, and was a nominee for the
Gramophone Awards in 2013.
