Music

Arvo Pärt’s “Magnificat”

Since my first introduction to him less than a year ago, Arvo Pärt has quickly become one of my favorite composers. Please… take a moment to pause and listen. A random YouTube commentor puts it this way and he’s not wrong: “The music of Arvo Bärt is more than just holy, its is like the heaven . To listen to this music, outside of the busy live, job etc is like to be in heaven for a while!”

Here’s a little article/NPR piece on Pärt’s work: Connecting the Dots on Arvo Pärt’s Symphonic Journey.

This is is Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel” which means “mirror in mirror” in German. It’s gorgeous and simple and peaceful. I imagine it to be an equally fitting soundtrack to parents seeing their baby for the first time or for the last time.
