Editorial Review Product Description 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. Customer Reviews (3)
Rather biased and interested mostly in tintinnabuli, but informative
Scholarly 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'!
An excellent guide to Part's music for beginners & experts 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 |
