edit data

Works of Estonian-born composer Arvo Pärt draw on modern styles, such as serialism and minimalism, and reflect his interest in Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic liturgy.

He makes classical and religious music. Since the late 1970s, Pärt employs tintinnabula, his self-invented technique. Gregorian chant in part inspires music of Pärt. His most performed include Fratres (1977), Spiegel im Spiegel (1978), and Für Alina (1976).

Quotes by Arvo Pärt (?)

“You can kill people with sound. And if you can kill, then maybe there is also the sound that is opposite of killing. And the distance between these two points is very big. And you are free--you can choose. In art everything is possible, but everything is not necessary.”
― Arvo Pärt
