Christian Liturgical Chant and the Musical Reorientation of Arvo Pärt
Keyword(s):
Working in the spirit of recent scholarship that has enriched our understanding of change and continuity leading up to, across, and beyond Pärt’s nominally “silent” period of 1968–76, this chapter reconsiders Pärt’s relationship to Christian plainchant. The chapter suggests that in tintinnabuli emerged a musical system that recreates by different means some of the key organizational procedures of traditions of Latin, Byzantine, and Slavonic liturgical singing.
