Composers of the Week: Hildegard of Bingen and Part: Back to Basics

on BBC Radio 3

Part fell into a creative silence of several years following the banning of Credo within the Soviet Union. Then, in 1976, he produced a tiny piano piece based on his newly discovered principles of tintinnabulation. Twenty years later, he came to the BBC to record it for this programme.
