One of today's most widely acclaimed composers, Arvo Part broke
into the soundscape of the Cold War West with Tabula Rasa in 1977,
a work that introduced his signature tintinnabuli style to
listeners throughout the world. In the first book dedicated to this
pathbreaking composition, author Kevin C. Karnes tells the story of
Tabula Rasa as one of Part and of Europe itself, traced over the
course of a quarter-century that saw momentous transitions in
European culture and politics, history and memory. Beginning at the
site of the work's creation in the Estonian SSR, and drawing
extensively upon a range of previously unexamined archival
materials, Karnes recounts Part's discovery of tintinnabuli amidst
his experiments with the music of the Western and Soviet
avant-gardes. He examines Tabula Rasa in relation to modernist
conceptions of musical structure, the ascetic practice of Orthodox
Christianity, postwar experiences of electronic music, and the
polystylistic approaches to composition that have become emblematic
of the Soviet 1970s. Tracing the export of Tabula Rasa to the West
and Part's emigration in 1980, the book reveals intersections of
critical commentary with visions of the "end of history" that
attended the collapse of European communism to suggest that it was
in this confluence of listening, discovery, and geopolitical
reordering that enduring lines of conversation about Part and his
music took shape.
