One of the most frequently performed contemporary composers, Arvo
Part has become a phenomenon whose unusual reach is felt well
beyond the concert hall. This ground-breaking collection of essays
investigates both the causes and the effects of this success.
Beyond the rhetoric of 'holy minimalism' that has accompanied the
composer's reception since the mid-1980s, each chapter takes a
fresh approach toward understanding how Part's music has occupied
social landscapes. The result is a dynamic conversation among
filmgoers (who explore issues of empathy and resemblance),
concertgoers (commerce and art), listeners (embodiment, healing and
the role of technology), activists (legacies of resistance) and
performers (performance practice). Collectively, these studies
offer a bold and thoughtful engagement with Part as a major
cultural figure and reflect on the unprecedented impact of his
music.
