Flow State - Arvo Pärt
Today's recommendation is brought to you by The Sample, a newsletter that helps you discover other newsletters. It's a bit like Flow State but for writing instead of music. Each morning The Sample selects a writer who matches up with your interests, and then you receive the latest edition of their newsletter. If you like it, you can subscribe to the writer with one click. It's great for connecting with independent writers who you wouldn't already see in your Twitter feed. Good morning. Today we’re listening to Arvo Pärt, an Estonian composer. Pärt grew up in northern Estonia, began to compose music in his early teens, and studied composition at the Tallinn Conservatory.¹ In the ‘70s, Pärt embraced a minimalist style he called “Tintinnabuli.” Generally it’s about using two voices – arpeggio and conjunct motion – together in unity. Or as he described it in 2011, “One and one makes – one.”² Some of Pärt’s pieces that epitomize this style are “Für Alina” and “Spiegel im Spiegel,” spare, stark compositions that are performed faithfully on 1999’s Alina. If you’re interested in fuller, more dynamic pieces, we’re also playing a collection of Pärt’s orchestral works performed by the Gothenburg Symphony Orchestra, which also came out in 1999. Alina - Arvo Pärt et al. (50m, no vocals) Tabula Rasa; Fratres; Symphony No. 3 - Arvo Pärt et al. (60m, no vocals) Have a really nice Wednesday. 1 via Wikipedia 2 via The Guardian |
