Description

The music of Estonian-born composer Arvo Part represents a unique and powerful voice in contemporary classical composition. This comprehensive study examines Part's distinctive tintinnabuli style, a tonal idiom based on mixtures of scales and triads that evokes the passionate tranquillity of Russian iconography and the contemplative cinema of Andrei Tarkovsky. Published by Oxford University Press, this book offers the first full-length scholarly exploration of Part's compositional genius. It delves into his tintinnabuli works with considerable depth whilst also examining his earlier serial period compositions, often overlooked in favour of his later innovations. The author charts the composer's artistic journey and development, providing essential context for understanding how Part's unique harmonic language emerged and evolved. This academic study is ideal for music students, composers, and anyone seeking deeper insight into one of the most influential voices in sacred and religious music.
