Arvo Pärt. Sacral minimalism. 

11.05/ 17:00 / Церковь Яани / Тарту

Meditative concert with music by Arvo Pärt. Chamber music meets sound therapy

Since times unmemorable the music has been a tool to uplift the soul, reach the eternal and illuminate the human consciousness into divine experiences.

Arvo Pärt is well known as one of the authors writing music that goes directly to your soul. Presenting this music with sacral and sacred instruments enhances and deepens the effect.

Arvo Pärt is a composer whose music has often been called „the new simplicity”, also „sacral minimalism” or „new music of the blessed”. He himself classifies himself rather metaphorically:
„Like tintinnabuli” (literally meaning „small bells”, referring to the small church bells that have special sound effects).

„Each phrase is a separate breath. Its inner pain and removing this pain are interconnected and create a breath. During the pauses one should learn to listen to the silence, to know how to feel the vibrations created by each sound, its length and transition into the next sound, the weight of that step. One shouldn’t rush; each step from one point to another on the music sheet must be valued. The step can be taken only after you have let all possible versions of notes to go through your „purgatory”. Only after being through all the sufferings is when the sound can be perfect.”
