Arvo Pärt: Summa: String Quartet: Score and Parts

eingerichtet von dem Dublin Guitar Quartet und Arvo Pärt. Par PART ARVO. 'I have developed a highly formalised compositional system, which I have been using to write my music for twenty years. Summa is the most strict and enigmatic work in this series', said Arvo Pärt in 1994. The neutral title itself embodies the essence of the content as the work is based on the text of the Latin Credo. The great simplicity of the piece masks its complexity. The underlying rules ensure that on the surface a cycle of continuous change is created while the deep structure possesses an order of stillness.

Partitur und Stimmen - P/ST - for recorder quartet s(t)a(b)a(b)t(b) Arrangers: Beutler, Irmhild / Rosin, Sylvia C. Estonian minimalist composer Arvo Pärt has adapted his celebrated work, Summa, for recorder quartet. Originally written for four solo a cappella voices, it is also available in arrangements for string quartet, string orchestra, and choir with organ. Summa bears the distinctive qualities of Pärt's music, masking its great collective complexity with simplicity in each part. This arrangement can be played by soprano/alto 1/alto 2/tenor instruments or tenor/bass 1/bass 2/great bass. Phrasing marks are consistent with those of the vocal arrangement. Universal Edition makes a significant addition to the recorder library with this edition. For intermediate to advanced players.
