Arvo Part

Nunc dimittis - The canticle of Simeon - interpreted by Arvo Pärt for choir a cappella.

Arvo Pärt's Tribute To Caesar is composed for mixed choir SATB a cappella. This wonderful piece is Arvo Pärt's beautiful musical interpretation of the rendering unto Caesar (After St Matthew 22 15-22).

Arvo Pärt's Triodion composed for mixed choir SATB a cappella. Pärt's 'Triodion' was commissioned by Lancing College in Sussex in order to celebrate their 150th anniversary in 1998.

Arvo Pärt's The Woman with the Alabaster Box for mixed choir SATB a cappella. This work is Arvo Pärt's beautiful musical interpretation of the anointing in Bethany (the Gospel according to St Matthew 26 6-13).

Arvo Pärts 'Passio Domini nostri Jesu Christi secundum Joannem' relates the story of the Passion according to the Latin of St John's Gospel.

Arvo Pärt's The Beatitudes – Seligpreisung composed for mixed Choir (SATB) and Organ. The Beatitudes for mixed Choir and Organ is Arvo Pärt's musical interpretation of the blessings a well-known part of the Sermon on the Mount (in the Gospel according to Matthew 5 3-12).

Like the Littlemore Tractus Pärt's setting of the Salve Regina has an extended hymn-like feel to it. Typically it builds very gradually to a late majestic climax - unison vocal lines at the outset broader harmonies later some intriguing eccentricities in the organ part along the way. It was the wish of Hubert Luthe Bishup of Essen Cathedral that this particular text be set in honour of the building's priceless golden Madonna. The premiere was in May 2002 to mark both the Bishop's seventy-fifth birthday and Essen's own 1150th anniversary.

Composed in 1990 and revised in 1991 for SATB Choir or soloists with Organ accompaniment Part’s setting of The Beatitudes is one of only a handful of works (Litany and And One of the Pharisees also falling into that category) composed in English. Taken from Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount as found in Matthew 5:1-12 The Beatitudes provide a fitting structure for Part’s setting. Each verse states a godly quality and the blessing attached to it; all except the last verse begin with the word ‘blessed’.The Beatitudes was premiered on 25 May 1990 at the Nathanaelkirche Berlin by the Theatre of Voices choir conducted by Paul Hillier.
