About This Song

About "Te Deum (1984/85; rev. 1992) for 3 Choruses, piano, strings and tape : Pärt: Te Deum (1984/85; rev. 1992) for 3 Choruses, piano, strings and tape: Te per orbem" by Coro Dell'Accademia Nazionale Di Santa Cecilia

Pärt's tintinnabuli bells ring through the 'Te per orbem,' three choruses layered like light through stained glass. Santa Cecilia sustains a hovering, spine-tingling stillness, each syllable a meditation. This is holy minimalism at its most transcendent: time suspended, breath made audible.
