Port, Passio [Alf:99-8555860]

Passio.

Arvo Part.

Born near Tallinn in Estonia in 1935, Arvo PŠrt emigrated in 1980 and settled in Berlin. Soon afteremigrating, PŠrt completed the St John Passionwhich he based on his new- found tintinnabuli principle that Òthe melody and the accompaniment is oneÓ. Settings of the Passion are part of a very early tradition in the Church, and in PŠrtÕs setting it is the text itself which determines the musical structure and even the duration of the silences between the words. Using the most concentrated of means, PŠrt communicates the depth and powerof the ancient Passion story in a new and compelling way.
