Product Description
Estonian composer Arvo Part is a unique voice in today's music. Using a tonal idiom based on a mixture of scales and triads, Part created a style called "tintinnabuli." In this first full-length study, Paul Hillier draws on his own considerable experience working with Part and his music to explore the famous tintinnabuli works in depth. Hillier covers the music of Part's earlier, somewhat neglected serial period as well, and sheds valuable light on the development of Part's music by looking at Part's biography and at the influences of Russian Orthodox spirituality, minimalism, and early music.

With the increasing popularity of recording and performing Part's music, Hillier's own thoughts on performance issues will be especially welcome in the world of contemporary music.

The book includes appendices containing a discography, a bibliography, and a list of works. ... Read more

4-0 out of 5 stars Rather biased and interested mostly in tintinnabuli, but informative
Arvo Part has become one of the most widely recognized contemporary composers, mainly due to his accessible "tintinnabuli" style of minimalism, and this entry in the Oxford Studies of Composers series is the first major English-language treatment of his career. The author, Paul Hillier, a recognized specialist in early music, performer in the Hilliard Ensemble, and artistic director of the Theatre of Voices, has often performed Part's music.

This study contains no real biography, but is organized as a chronological exploration of Part's work. The works of the 1960s, first with a dedication to serialism and then making heavy use ofcollage, are rather hastily covered in a single chapter; clearly Hillier is most concerned with tintinnabuli. The technique in general has a chapter to itself, and then each of the works is analysed. Quotations from the score abound, and knowledge of music theory is necessary. The most extensive coverage is that of "Passio", essential reading for anyone who wants to better understand the work. As a sort of appendix, Hillier includes some advice for musicians who would perform Part's music.

I've generally been unhappy with Part's "holy minimalism", as much of his oeuvre contains no clear theology and lets the listener find whatever he wants in it. He has been most successful when he put his services to the work of the Orthodox Church as in "Litany" and "Kanon Pokajanen" where there is no room for differing opinion. Hillier's study, however did help me better appreciate certain tintinnabuli works. The "Passio", for instance, is now revealed as a work of ingenious design and subtlety, but I still think "Fur Alina" is some kind of practical joke, and I still can't find much good to say about the "Berliner Messe"

My biggest complaint about the work, however, is that Hillier is extremely uncritical towards Part's music, taking turns towards the hagiographical and assuming that if it came from Part it must be good. He often dismisses more substantial methods of composition, such as serialism, insinuating that no one could enjoy them. As one who enjoys the serialism of Boulez, the zahlenmystik of Gubaidulina, the massive harmonies of Lindberg, and the mathematical precision of Xenakis much more than the entertaining-but-usually-wispy music of Part, I find it offensive that Hillier tries to say what his readers should or shouldn't like. Also, I regret that the book came too early to cover the massive "Kanon Pokajanen", which I think will go down as the composer's masterwork and a lasting contribution to Orthodox hymnography, but Hillier does briefly mention the prototypical sketches that Part had already begun to write for that work.

If you enjoy the music of Part, especially the "Passio", Hillier's study is worth picking up for, in spite of its clear bias, it is a useful musicological analysis.

4-0 out of 5 stars Scholarly
Paul Hillier has been a leading exponent of Arvo Part's music for manyyears now, and this book is yet another delectable fruit of hisrelationship with the composer and his music.

The book is divided intovery neat chapters, giving a thorough and systematic break-down of Part'smusical career- from his neo-classical student works to his earlyexperiments with serialism (he was the first Estonian composer to writeserial music); his period of silence when he sought a new, simpler means ofself-expression; and finally his discovery of the "tintinnabuli"style. Paul Hillier's first encounter with Part was through performing histintinnabuli works, thus the book focusses mostly on them. Performers andcritics have often complained that the music is too simple; Hillier revealsthat there is more to it than meets the eye, and in particular hisdescriptions of the large-scale cantatas such as "Passio" and"Miserere" make for solid reading. Impressively, Hillier does notneglect the earlier serial works such as "Nekrolog" and thecontroversial "Credo" - music that sounds almost like that ofanother composer. Perhaps disappointingly, he opts not to go into Part'sbiographical details beyond a basic account of his childhood musicalexperiences and the problems he faced for many years in his Soviet-annexedhomeland. He does however explore Russian Orthodox views on music andminimalism, an understanding of which is helpful in developing anunderstanding of Part's music. Finally, he offers his ideas on performingit: an extremely well-written and useful chapter, as is the appendix whichlists the key recordings of most of the tintinnabuli and some of the serialworks.

It takes some getting into: Hillier reveals himself to be a finemusicologist and makes some very detailed analyses, but many of the termshe uses can be baffling to the casual reader. Music students are thus thelikeliest customers to benefit from the purchase of this book. As a musicstudent myself, I find this book 'un-put-downable'!

5-0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to Part's music for beginners & experts
Paul Hillier is certainly qualified to write a book about the music of Arvo Part.Not only is Hillier a brilliant musician in his own right, but he has collaborated with Part many times in the last decade or so toproduce many splendid recordings as well as giving many world premierconcert performances of Part's work. Here we are given "an insiderview" on how this music was written.Short of Part writing a bookhimself, this is the closest a listener will ever get to being inside themind of this enigmatic, quite, reserved and extremely gifted composer.There is only about 10 pages or so devoted to biography, the rest is purelyabout the music.

Hillier's explanations of the pieces are so thoroughthat one can literally read along with the book while listening to thecorresponding piece of music and never get lost. Hillier has done asplendid job with the writing because it is quite technical and willcertainly give musicians and other composers insight into Part's structuralideas.The crowning achievement though is that the book can also be read(with only slight difficulty) by those that have no musical training. Ican't read music or play any instruments, and I seldom felt lost whilereading, despite the technical terminology (one can pick up a lot fromcontext.)

The only problem with the book is that it was published in1997, so it doesn't have commentary on his newest works like "KanonPokjanen." That one flaw, however, is tiny and can be easilyoverlooked in light of it valuble insight into the world and music of ArvoPart. ... Read more

Excerpt: John Zorn (born September 2, 1953 in New York City) is an American avant-garde composer, arranger, record producer, saxophonist and multi-instrumentalist. Zorn's recorded output is prolific with hundreds of album credits as a performer, composer, or producer. His work has touched on a wide range of musical genres, often within a single composition, but he is best-known for his avant-garde, jazz, improvised and contemporary classical music. Zorn has led the punk jazz band Naked City, the klezmer-influenced quartet Masada and composed the associated 'Masada Songbooks', written concert music for classical ensembles, and produced music for film and documentary. Zorn has stated that "I've got an incredibly short attention span. My music is jam-packed with information that is changing very fast... All the various styles are organically connected to one another. I'm an additive person - the entire storehouse of my knowledge informs everything I do. People are so obsessed with the surface that they can't see the connections, but they are there."

Excerpt: Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten (·)) is a short canon written in 1977 in A minor by the Estonian composer of classical music Arvo Pärt (b. 1935) for string orchestra and bell. Cantus is an early example of Pärt's own tintinnabuli style, which he based on his reactions to early chant music. The work's appeal is often ascribed to its relative simplicity; a single melodic motif dominates and it both begins and ends with scored silence. However, as the critic Ivan Hewett CBE observes, while it "may be simple in concept...the concept produces a tangle of lines which is hard for the ear to unravel. And even where the music really is simple in its audible features, the expressive import of those features is anything but." A typical performance lasts about six and a half minutes. The cantus was composed as an elegy to mourn the December 1976 death of the English composer Benjamin Britten. Pärt greatly admired Britten, whom he described as possessing the "unusual purity" that he himself sought as a composer. Part viewed the Englishman as a kindred spirit; however, he only gained access to the latter's music in 1980, after emigrating from Soviet Estonia to Austria, four years after Britten had died. When Britten passed, Pärt felt that he had lost hope of meeting the only contemporary composer whose musical outlook, he believed, resembled his own. While Pärt is known primarily for his religious music, Cantus is a fully secular work, in that it forms a spare lament to a fellow composer and...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=806463 ... Read more

Excerpt: Arvo Pärt (born 11 September 1935; Estonian pronunciation: ) is an Estonian classical composer. Since the late 1970s, Pärt has worked in a minimalist style that employs a self-made compositional technique called tintinnabuli. His music also finds its inspiration and influence from Gregorian chant. Pärt was born in Paide, Järva County, Estonia. A prolonged struggle with Soviet officials led him to emigrate with his wife and their two sons in 1980. He lived first in Vienna, Austria, where he took Austrian citizenship, and then re-located to Berlin, Germany. He returned to Estonia around the turn of the century and now lives in Tallinn. Familiar works by Pärt are Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten for string orchestra and bell (1977) and the string quintet "Fratres I" (1977, revised 1983), which he orchestrated for string orchestra and percussion, the solo violin "Fratres II" and the cello ensemble "Fratres III" (both 1980). Pärt is often identified with the school of minimalism and, more specifically, that of mystic minimalism or holy minimalism. He is considered a pioneer of this style, along with contemporaries Henryk Górecki and John Tavener. Although his fame initially rested on instrumental works such as Tabula Rasa and Spiegel im Spiegel, his choral works have also come to ... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=93783 ... Read more

Extrait : Arvo Pärt, né le 11 septembre 1935 à Paide au sud de Tallinn en Estonie, est un compositeur estonien de musique contemporaine vivant à Berlin en Allemagne. Il est souvent associé au mouvement de musique minimaliste qui s'est formé à partir des années 1960. Tallinn, la ville où Arvo Pärt a fait ses études.Arvo Pärt entre en 1954 à l'École secondaire de musique de Tallinn. L'année suivante, il doit faire son service militaire, au cours duquel il tient au sein de la fanfare la caisse claire et le hautbois. Il entre au conservatoire de Tallinn en 1957 où il étudie avec Heino Eller. En parallèle, il trouve un emploi à la radio estonienne en tant qu'ingénieur du son, poste qu'il occupe de 1958 à 1967. En 1962, l'une de ses compositions écrite pour chœur d'enfants et orchestre, Notre jardin (1959), le fait connaître dans toute l'Union soviétique et lui permet de remporter le Premier Prix des jeunes compositeurs de l'URSS. Il sort diplômé du conservatoire de Tallinn en 1963. A cette époque il compose également des musiques de film. Au début des années 1960, il s'initie à la composition sérielle, dont relèvent ses deux premières symphonies; cela lui attire immédiatement d'importantes inimitiés, la musique sérielle étant considérée comme un avatar de la décadence bourgeoise occidentale. Toutes aussi incorrectes politiquement dans le contexte soviétique, ses compositions d'inspiration religieuse, ainsi que sa technique du collage un temps utilisée, limitent considérablement le rayonnement de son œuvre. À la fin des années 196...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Extrait : La musique minimaliste est un courant de musique contemporaine apparu dans les années 1960 aux États-Unis, qui représente une part importante de la musique classique de ce pays. En France, le courant est fréquemment appelé musique répétitive, et désigne plus spécifiquement l'ensemble des œuvres utilisant la répétition comme technique de composition. Les principaux compositeurs de musique minimaliste sont La Monte Young, Terry Riley, Steve Reich, Philip Glass, et John Adams. L'œuvre considérée comme fondatrice du minimalisme est In C de Terry Riley, composée en 1964. La musique minimaliste est parfois désignée sous l'étiquette plus large de musique postmoderne. Plus qu'un retour à la tonalité, le courant est surtout caractérisé par l'utilisation d'une pulsation régulière et la répétition de courts motifs évoluant lentement. Au-delà d'un mouvement de réaction au sérialisme, alors dominant en Europe, la musique minimaliste marque l'émergence d'une musique américaine novatrice, déliée de ses attaches européennes. Les compositeurs minimalistes ont aussi opéré un retour vers plus d'émotivité musicale, au lieu de l'approche essentiellement intellectuelle de la musique sérielle, ou l'appro...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ...

Raiding, aujourd'hui en Autriche) le 22 octobre 1811 et mort à Bayreuth (Allemagne) le 31 juillet 1886. Liszt est le père de la technique pianistique moderne et du récital. Avec lui, naissent l'impressionnisme au piano, le piano orchestral - Mazeppa, la quatrième étude d'exécution transcendante - et le piano littéraire - les Années de pèlerinage. Il est à l'origine - avec Frédéric Chopin - du style de toute une lignée de compositeurs : Ravel, Rachmaninov, Scriabine. Son père, Adam Liszt, était le petit-fils d'un migrant serf germanophone, Sébastian Liszt, qui avait quitté sa Basse-Autriche natale durant la première moitié du siècle pour venir s'installer en Hongrie. Adam qui était devenu secrétaire du prince Esterházy et violoncelliste dans un orchestre local, n'était pas musicien de profession. Il eût sans doute pu devenir un musicien distingué, si il n'avait pas été issu d'une famille très nombreuse de quatorze enfants, qui ne lui lai...http://booksllc.net/?l=fr ... Read more

Chapters: People From Paide, Arvo Pärt, Carmen Kass, Tarmo Neemelo, Paide Linnameeskond, Tõnis Vanna, Ita Ever, August Wilhelm Hupel, Paide Ühisgümnaasiumi Stadium. Excerpt: Arvo Pärt (born 11 September 1935; Estonian pronunciation: ) is an Estonian classical composer. Since the late 1970s, Pärt has worked in a minimalist style that employs a self-made compositional technique called tintinnabuli. His music also finds its inspiration and influence from Gregorian chant. Pärt was born in Paide, Järva County, Estonia. A prolonged struggle with Soviet officials led him to emigrate with his wife and their two sons in 1980. He lived first in Vienna, Austria, where he took Austrian citizenship, and then re-located to Berlin, Germany. He returned to Estonia around the turn of the century and now lives in Tallinn. Familiar works by Pärt are Cantus In Memoriam Benjamin Britten for string orchestra and bell (1977) and the string quintet "Fratres I" (1977, revised 1983), which he orchestrated for string orchestra and percussion, the solo violin "Fratres II" and the cello ensemble "Fratres III" (both 1980). Pärt is often identified with the school of minimalism and, more specifically, that of mystic minimalism or holy minimalism. He is considered a pioneer of this style, along with contemporaries Henryk Górecki and John Tavener. Although his fame initially rested on instrumental works such as Tabula Rasa and Spiegel im Spiegel, his choral works have also come to be widely appreciated. Pärt's musical education began at age seven. He began attending music school in Rakvere, where his family lived. By the time he reached his early teen years, Pärt was writing his own compositions. While studying composition with Heino Eller at the Tallinn Conservatory in 1957, it was s... More: http://booksllc.net/?id=93783 ... Read more
