ON PÄRT

Essays by Paul Hillier

A gallery of 35 photos of Arvo Pärt taken between 1958 and 2005, many in full colour. The central theme of the photos tracies the collaboration with ECM and the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir for the recordings of Pärt's Te Deum and Kanon Pokajanen. Tormis, a professional photographer with several exhibitions to his credit, is also a baritone in the Estonian choir and the son of composer Veljo Tormis. My four essays offer a short general introduction to Pärt's music and then discuss some of the more recent works composed since the publication of my book (Arvo Pärt, Oxford University Press, 1997). Published to mark the composer's 70th birthday in September 2005, the text is presented both in English and Estonian.
