    Arvo Pärt is an influential Estonian composer known for developing a minimalist style called tintinnabuli. He was born in 1935 in Paide, Estonia and studied music at the Tallinn Conservatory. Pärt initially composed in a variety of styles but faced criticism from Soviet officials. He significantly reduced his output during a period of personal and political turmoil. In the late 1970s, Pärt reinvented his style with tintinnabuli, a technique using overlapping, repeating musical patterns. His works such as Fratres and Spiegel im Spiegel brought him international acclaim and he is now considered one of the most performed living composers.

    Arvo Pärt is an Estonian composer of classical and religious music. Since the
    late 1970s, Pärt has worked in a minimalist style that employs his self-invented
    compositional technique, tintinnabuli. Pärt's music is in part inspired by
    Gregorian chant. His most performed works include Fratres, Spiegel im Spiegel,
    and Für Alina. Since 2011 Pärt has been the most performed living composer in
    the world. The Arvo Pärt Centre, in Laulasmaa, was opened to the public in
    2018.[ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]
    Born: Sep 11, 1935

    Birthplace: Paide, Estonia

    Spouse: Nora Pärt

    Children: Michael Pärt (Son)


    Nominations: Grammy Award for Best Classical Contemporary Composition,
    Nika Award for Best Music Score

    Education: Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre[ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]

    Pärt was born in Paide, Järva County, Estonia and was raised by his mother and
    stepfather in Rakvere in northern Estonia. He began to experiment with the top
    and bottom notes of the family's piano as the middle register was damaged.
    Pärt's musical education began at the age of seven when he began attending
    music school in Rakvere. By the time he reached his early teenage years, Pärt
    was writing his own compositions. His first serious study came in 1954 at the
    Tallinn Music Middle School, but less than a year later he temporarily
    abandoned it to fulfill military service, playing oboe and percussion in the army
    band. After his service he attended the Tallinn Conservatory, where he studied
    composition with Heino Eller and it was said of him, "he just seemed to shake
    his sleeves and the notes would fall out". As a student, he produced music for
    film and the stage. During the 1950s, he also completed his first vocal
    composition, the cantata Meie aed ('Our Garden') for children's choir and
    orchestra. He graduated in 1963. From 1957 to 1967, he worked as a sound
    producer for the Estonian public radiobroadcaster Eesti Rahvusringhääling.

    Pärt was criticized by Tikhon Khrennikov in 1962, for employing serialism in


    Nekrolog (1960), the first 12-tone music written in Estonia, which exhibited his
    "susceptibility to foreign influences". But nine months later he won First Prize
    in a competition of 1,200 works, awarded by the all-Union Society of
    Composers, indicating the inability of the Soviet regime to agree consistently on
    what was permissible. His first overtly sacred piece Credo (1968) was a turning
    point in his career and life – on a personal level he had reached a creative crisis
    that led him to renounce the techniques and means of expression used so far; on
    a social level the religious nature of this piece resulted in him being unofficially
    censured and his music disappearing from concert halls. For the next eight years
    he composed very little, focusing instead on studies of medieval and
    Renaissance music in order to find his new musical language. In 1972 he
    converted from Lutheranism to Orthodox Christianity.[ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]He
    re-emerged as a composer in 1976 with music created in his self-invented
    compositional style and technique tintinnabuli.[ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]In 1980,
    after a prolonged struggle with Soviet officials, he was allowed to emigrate with
    his wife and their two sons. He lived first in Vienna, where he took Austrian
    citizenship and then relocated to Berlin, Germany, in 1981. He returned to
    Estonia around the turn of the 21st century and for a while lived alternately in
    Berlin and Tallinn. He currently resides in Laulasmaa, about 35 kilometres (22
    mi) from Tallinn. He speaks fluent German as a result of living in Germany
    since 1981.[ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]
    MUSICAL DEVELOPMENT
    Familiar works by Pärt are Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten for string
    orchestra and bell (1977) and the string quintet Fratres I (1977, revised 1983),
    which he transcribed for string orchestra and percussion, the solo violin "Fratres
    II" and the cello ensemble "Fratres III" (both 1980). [ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]Pärt is
    often identified with the school of minimalism and, more specifically, that of
    mystic minimalism or holy minimalism. He is considered a pioneer of the latter
    style, along with contemporaries Henryk Górecki and John Tavener. Although
    his fame initially rested on instrumental works such as Tabula Rasa and Spiegel
    im Spiegel, his choral works have also come to be widely appreciated. [ CITATION
    Arv20 \l 2057 ]In this period of Estonian history, Pärt was unable to encounter
    many musical influences from outside the Soviet Union except for a few illegal
    tapes and scores. Although Estonia had been an independent state at the time of
    Pärt's birth, the Soviet Union occupied it in 1940 as a result of the Soviet–Nazi
    Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact; and the country would then remain under Soviet
    domination—except for the three-year period of German wartime occupation—
    for the next 51 years.[ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]
    Compositions
    Pärt's works are generally divided into two periods. He composed his early
    works using a range of neo-classical styles influenced by Shostakovich,
    Prokofiev, and Bartók. He then began to compose using Schoenberg's twelve-
    tone technique and serialism. This, however, not only earned the ire of the
    Soviet establishment but also proved to be a creative dead-end. When early
    works were banned by Soviet censors, Pärt entered the first of several periods of
    contemplative silence, during which he studied choral music from the 14th to
    16th centuries.[ CITATION Arv20 \l 2057 ]
