Arvo Part by Hillier
World-famous, Estonian-born composer Arvo Part is a unique voice in today's music. From his own extensive experience of working with Part, Paul Hiller here provides the first full-length study of the composer's music.
This book is perhaps most valuable as an in-depth study of Pärt's attempt to 'learn how to walk again as a composer'.. Hillier gives a most illuminating account of Pärt's determination to pare down and reconstruct both his musical ideas and his technique ... This book is the best possible refutation of the notion that Pärt's music is a simple remortgaging of a past musical idiom. * Peter Quinn, Tempo 202 *
The first English-language book devoted to Pärt ... Hillier is especially qualified to speak on Pärt's work ... the book also provides an apt amount of biographical scene setting. * Billboard, 5 July 1997 *
a detailed work-by-work study by a leading expert who knows the composer, fleshed out with biographical details and useful appendices; there are copious music examples ... a highly detailed text which veers between analytical charts and more straightforward descriptive writing * Gramophone, September 1997 *
