This sonorous word is a compositional reference created by Arvo Pärt, the most highlighted contemporary composer of church music, born in September 11, 1935 in Estonia.

This technique is characterized by two types of "voices":

the first "voice" does an arpeggio with the notes of the tonic triad (in the song that I recommend here it begins with a Sol-Mi b -Do, the three notes of the chord of C minor) and the second "voice" moves gradually and diatonically , namely by whole tones without semitones.

Pärt's work always has a minimalist and meditative character.

This opposition of movements, composer x entirety, is a unique and illuminating dot in our immediate and introverted universe.

It’s worth listening to.

The piece The Beatitudes (text follows below) is sung by the Choir Boys "Wuppetaler Kurrent"



Essa palavra sonora é  uma referência  composicional criada por Arvo Pärt , o mais destacado compositor contemporâneo de música sacra, nascido num 11 de setembro...de 1935, na Estônia.
Essa técnica é caracterizada por dois tipos de "vozes":
a primeira "voz" arpeja as notas da tríade do acorde da tônica ( na música que indico aqui temos de início  um Sol-Mi b-Do, as tres notas do acorde de Do menor) e a segunda "voz" se move gradualmente e diatonicamente, isto é, por tons inteiros, sem semitons .
Os trabalhos de Pärt  tem sempre um caráter minimalista e meditativo.
Essa contraposição de movimentos  ,compositor x globalidade ,é um ponto com luminosidade singular ,nesse nosso universo imediatista e ensimesmado.
Vale a pena escutar .
A obra As Beatitudes ( segue texto abaixo) é cantada pelo Coro de meninos  "Wuppetaler Kurrent"
