Estonian composer Part (b. 1935) began his career
with the forbidding serialist technique once in fashion with so
many of his colleagues. He subsequently developed a spiritually
questing minimalist style that possesses enormous appeal. He frequently
draws on Eastern Orthodox as well as Renaissance musical traditions
to create works of profoundly resonant and moving simplicity.
Here
