Anyone heard of this contemporary composer or have any of his stuff? Switched on the radio in the car yesterday to come across this guy's music by chance, and it's really something else... Some of the piano phrases in "Spiegel im Spiegel" reminded me of xmd5a, very very dark, very interesting. I've got to get some of his stuff. If anyone has a recording of the composition Spiegel im Spiegel, please give me a shout. If anyone has any other reccomendations, please post them here. I advise everyone to check this guy's music out. |

His music is airy fairy and does nothing for me. |

Nice one. My favorite composer, the man is magic, man, very holy stuff. I'm revolverjgw on SLSK, if you use that I've got like a gig of his stuff shared. I can yousendit Spiegel or whatever if you need it. Recos which I have shared- Fur Alina (Spiegel, which as you said is great, plus Alina, which is even better) Summa (huge austere soundscapes using strings and horns, probably my favorite Part stuff is here) Te Deum (best choral work I've ever heard, gives me chills) Kanon Pokajanen (another shining choral work) Orient Occident (some scary tracks and a few pretty ones, the pretty ones sounding more ''traditional'' than the average Part work). |

redrum, if you like AP, there'a a big chance you'll also like Arnold Schoenberg's music. They somehow go together in my head. |

Avro Paert is nice. |

You cannot seriously link Schoenberg and Part, Part wrote a handful of works which were atonal, that's about the only link. Apart from that, Part's work has been tonal. Schoenberg was apart of the 2nd Viennese school who all employed serial techniques. The result is a big difference in sound. |

OHohoh! I made a song out of some of his choral stuff a good while ago. |

I am a big fan of Arvo Part, and I have a few of his works. I did a thread on him around a year ago, actually. ;-) Glad someone else is into it! Our of all the CDs I own, "Passio" is probably my favorite. I also enjoy John Tavener. |

i just discovered this composer - my god! so fantastic, dark and beautiful all at the same time. superb stuff. Miserere is my fave for the moment. and the piece Cantus In Memory Of Benjamin Britten from Tabula Rasa. wow. |

I heard Arvo Part for the first time a few weeks ago when all the albums were listed on Boomkat (inc the new one). Really very nice. |

I still claim that a person who likes Arvo Part would probably enjoy Schoenberg's music. Apart from the theoreticall mumbo-jumbo, Schoenberg's music is very sinister and full of dark feelings. You like music for the sound itself and not for the background behind it, don't you? |

I mean the mood and feelings and memories and stuff. |

ofcourse! i'll have the check that out. thanks for the tip. |

"Arvo Pärt" . |
||||||||
|
|

What I've heard is nice, but I've never gotten as far as buying any for myself... |

Ah, another Arvo Part thread. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
His music deserves it, good sir. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it's coincidental that this thread was bumped today, since i was reminded of aul Arvo in a german tutorial class today, when the verb "spiegeln" was mentioned. |
||||||||

Oh, this was started in 2005; didn't notice until now. |
||||||||

There's not much ''sinister'' about Part, but other than that, yeah. But I guess some of his stuff has such a monolithic quality that they can be sort of intimidating by nature, and his organ works have kind of an edge to them. |

I read that Murcof samples Arvo Part. I have Tabula Rasa and can highly recommend it. |
||||||||
|
|

"His music is airy fairy and does nothing for me." Agreed. I particularly hate the stuff he did with The Hilliard Ensemble. |
||||||||

Oh wait, That was Jan Gabarek. Never mind. |
||||||||

I will never admit listening to Arvo Part. |
||||||||
|
|

ALINA by Arvo Part works for me :) Gus Van Sant used this music for "Gerry". |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
24 Preludes for a Fugue, a documentary about him, it's pretty much worth watching. |
