Arvo Pärt
Pärt emerged from Soviet modernism to create 'tintinnabuli' — music of bells, silence, and spiritual peace. His works strip away everything unnecessary. Profound simplicity and divine quiet.
Essential Listening
Spiegel im Spiegel
Mirror within mirror. A simple melody over slow piano arpeggios — infinite stillness and peace.
Fratres
The same pattern repeated in different registers. Hypnotic, austere, and strangely comforting.
Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten
A descending scale becomes a tribute to the dead. Bell and strings in solemn procession.
