Arvo Pärt Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten

foxstar. whats the big deal? why is it rubbish to you? i think its quite refreshing that this same melody is being played in all the instruments at different times letting them all mathematically fade out... tell me why this bothers you. please. im very curious

yes foxstar, i too am curious. it's interesting that you judge music by the key that it is in. It's also interesting that you liked the string section, but not the piece, because this piece is written for string orchestra and bell. Keep listening, because Part's genius is slipping by you

combine a sentimental heart with the effects of natural harmony and this is the kind of rubbish you get. This is really is a very poor piece of music. Sure, A minor is a nice scale and there's a good string section playing but this is total rubbish

@24foxstar whats the big deal? why is it rubbish to you? i think its quite refreshing that this same melody is being playing in all the instruments at different rhythmic values letting them all mathematically fade out... why does it bother you?

It's a wonderful piece, but I find the tempo a little too fast considering what it's about.

Just wonderful wonderful but sad music, reminds me of all my family that have passed away god bless and rest in peace

I am dead, I am worried, I am forever more, hold me, love me, what is life? why am I here? slow down, my heart is slowing, what an amazing life, I love all that is, God bless every one and every thing.
Thank you Arvo Part

Great !!!

Rest in Peace, Baron Edward Benjamin Britten.
