Statistically the most performed and listened to contemporary composer in the world, Arvo P�rt is a musical and cultural phenomenon. This book is an essential resource for anyone interested in his extraordinarily innovative and uniquely appealing music. Andrew Shenton surveys the full scope of P�rt's oeuvre, providing context and chronological continuity while concentrating in particular on his text-based music, analysing and describing individual pieces and techniques such as tintinnabulation. The book also explores the spiritual and theological contexts of P�rt's creativity, and the challenges of performing his work. This volume is the definitive guide for readers looking to engage with the form, content, and context of P�rt's compositions, as Shenton situates P�rt in the narrative of metamodernism and suggests new ways of understanding this unique and beautiful music.
