Arvo Part

Par PART ARVO. 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)./ Répertoire / Choeur SATB

Par PART ARVO. 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./ Répertoire / Choeur SATB et Orgue

Arvo Pärt's De profundis for male choir TTBB Percussion ad lib. and Organ. Pärt sets to music one of the most famous and most frequently composed psalms (psalm 130) in his very own tintinnabuli-style.

Von Puppen Fröschen und Glühwürmchen - Klangvolles für kleine StimmenEntstanden zwischen 1956 und 1964 stellen die 5 Kinderlieder in ihrer Einfachheit einen idealen ersten Zugang zu Pärts Musik und ihrer Charakteristik dar. Die kurzen im Chor unisono gehaltenen Lieder werden unterstützt durch eine unaufdringliche Klavierbegleitung so dass im Zusammenklang ein wunderschöner musikalischer Kinderreigen von Glühwürmchen bis Puppenspiel entsteht.Inhalt: Mina olen juba suur / Ich bin schon groß [S. 1] (1'+)Jaaniussi laul / Lied der Glühwürmchen [S. 4] (30'+)Konnad / Lied derFrösche [S. 5] (1'+)Lepatriinu laul / Lied vom Marienkäfer [S. 7] (1'+)Nukul pole nime / Wie soll die Puppe heißen?

Arvo Pärt's Seven Magnificat-Antiphons composed for mixed choir SATB a cappella. The Seven Magnificat-Antiphones in this work - composed by Arvo Pärt count as one of the very few contemporary settings of the Vesper.

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.

Par PART ARVO. Beatus Petronius and Statuit ei Dominus were commissioned in 1990 to commemorate the 600th anniversary of the Basilica San Petronio, the principal church of Bologna. San Petronio is one of the few churches to be equipped with two church organs. Arvo Pärt thus wrote both pieces for two choirs and two organs. However, the pieces can be performed together or separately. The two pieces are written in contrasting styles, arranged as antiphonal songs. Beatus Petronius pro nobis intercedat, quo beato previo, vero dato premio, omnis pestis cedat./ Répertoire / 2 Choeurs et 2 Orgues

Par PART ARVO. When Agustin Gutierrez Canet, the Mexican ambassador to Estonia, invited me to Mexico, my interest and notions of the country were strongly affected be the famous legend of Juan Diego and his reports of the apparition of the Virgin Mary. The happy anticipation of being in Mexiko very soon and the name Guadalupe left me no peace; they inspired me to write a choral work which I took along as a present to the people of Mexico: Virgencita./ Répertoire / Chœur Mixte [SATB] a Capella
