Arvo Pärt>>>>>>whatever you're listening to

When it comes to music in the grand or beautiful sense, or in the emotional sense, Arvo Pärt absolutely flattens the competition. Maybe he's not your thing, but still, I defy any of you to deny how amazing this music is.

You're welcome. I sorta discovered him by accident when my music composition professor compared a piece I wrote to Arvo.

I prefer some of his earlier, thornier music. He even used 12-tone techniques for a while.

I know. Some of it is pretty cool. I can intellectually appreciate 12-tone, and I honestly think he made a good run of it, but it's not something I can listen to for an extended period of time. Hell, my grandfather was big into that scene and composed with 12-tone, and I don't see him giving a shit anymore.

Part has a gift, and his 12 tone stuff is actually pretty listenable, I'll give you that. He really went from one extreme to another though, eh?

Yeah, maybe a middle ground would be nice! I'm curious to hear his new 4th Symphony.

In my second year at school I wrote a 12 tone composition (dodecaphony), pretty hard if you write it according to the rules.

Yeah, very few composers write in a strict serial form anymore. Just plain atonality or at least extremely chromatic harmony seems to be the preference now. Actually, a few composers, such as Penderecki, are writing almost tonal works these days!
