Pärt, Arvo

Pärt, Arvo
(11 September 1935, Paide, Estonia)
   While supporting himself with music for theater and film, Pärt first attracted great attention and political reprobation with Credo (1968) for chorus, orchestra, and piano. He then developed a new homophonic technique called tintinnabuli, in which bell-like static triads form the ground for a more prominent, usually modal, melodic figure. Tintinnabuli became the basis for his St. John Passion (1982) and for most of the later compositions for chorus or small vocal ensemble, most on Christian texts or themes. He left Estonia in 1980 and settled in West Berlin in 1982.
