(born 1935). "The complex and many-faceted only confuses me, and I must search for unity. What is it, this one thing, and how do I find my way to it?" The Estonian composer Arvo Part is now securely established as one of the most original voices of ourtime, his music a paradigm of meditative calm. But Part has travelled a long road to arrive in this transcendent sound world. Today Donald Macleod begins his exploration of that world, looking at some early examples of the music Part wrote before finding his mature voice in the purity of "tintinnabulation" -the sound of bells.
