Program Notes & Works
Tabula rasa
In part inspired by Renaissance music and Eastern Orthodox liturgical music, Pärt created an austerely beautiful musical language, exemplified in his 1977 double violin concerto Tabula rasa.
Requiem in D minor, K.626
Mozart’s Requiem has been steeped in legend and speculation literally since it was written.
