Part's recent compositions suggest he is moving away from tintinnabuli minimalism to some new and richer, and closer to the avant-garde. I'll try to write something about that in the coming days. Crculver 02:06, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)
The tintinnabuli principle is inadequately explained on the main page. Yes it is about triad notes, but the specifically bell-like nature comes from harmonising a modal melody using the next-highest and next-lowest triad notes alternately. This is something that I could explain much better using a snippet of score- perhaps I will do it when I next get back to my mac which has sibelius-I could but a couple of bars of tintinnabulation together to demonstrate and convert the score to graphics. Secondly, the article really can't do justice to Part's music without mentioning the influence of [Hocket] and [canon]. Tabula Rasa, for example, has an incredibly rigid canonic structure. I will try to write this at some point unless someone disagrees Seanhunter 12:01, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Arvo Pärt is best known for his choral works."
Is this really the case? His breakthrough (and most famous to date) CD is the Fratres one on ECM, and works such as Fratres, Cantus and Für Alina are much more often used in films and TV as well, not to mention some of the most ripped-off pieces of music in existence...
