Album Notes & Community Reviews

Highlighting the Estonian composer's iconic 'tintinnabuli' style, this collection features breathtaking vocal performances directed by Paul Hillier. The deeply meditative, religiously inspired choral arrangements are incredibly sparse and mathematically precise, cementing P盲rt's status as a leading figure in the holy minimalist movement.
