Sicut patt est ad patres nostros, Abraham et semini eius in saecula. In my dark hours, I have the certain feeling that everything outside this one thing has no meaning. Behold, from henceforth, I will be called blessed by all generations.
This is demonstrated in figure 7. Part has, consciously or unconsciously, also utilized a fairly straightforward dominant I tonic relationship between these phrases, which also helps the listener hear the subsequent phrase as climactic. Magnificat phrase 7 "et sanctam.
For Magnificat Part doesn't rely on anything as mathematical. To do this we need to examine the cumulative effect of the musical processes on the listener. Magnificat has its own soundscape. For a receptive listener it is engaging and engrossing, but the uniqueness of the style and the aural ecology of the piece bring up a question posed by musicologist Deryck Cooke in the s.
Cooke asks: Is the traditional language of music As Part developed the technique over a period of more than fifty years, it has become syncretized with some elements of common practice tonality especially his use of the V-I and IV-I cadential features. In Magnificat this is not particularly the case and, although tintinnabulation has its roots in plainsong and early music, any notion of musical formulae that evoke a "series of conditioned reflexes" is absent from this score.
Part's tintinnabuli music has now developed its own series of "formulae" which, in a self-referential way, may evoke certain responses in the listener. Umberto Eco points out that in order to make a text communicative, the author has to assume that the ensemble of codes he relies upon is the same as that shared by his possible reader. The author has thus to foresee a model of the possible reader or for music, Model Listener supposedly able to deal interpretatively with the expressions in the same way as the author deals generatively with them.
On the surface level this is where Part's music may seem to fail. It is likely than many listeners to this music and other texted works by Part are passive receptors and are not fully engaged with the text on every level. If his status as evangelist is clear, then why should we characterize him and his actions as "quiet? Kenosis, the doctrine that Christ relinquished his divine attribute so as to experience human suffering, is interpreted in the Christian tradition as self-emptying so as to become receptive to God.
In the Orthodox tradition kenosis is only possible through humility, and denotes continual epiklesis invocation of the Holy Spirit and self-denial of one's own human will and desire.
The goal of kenosis is union with God, and this goal can also be achieved through theosis, the process of becoming holy by grace. This in turn is brought about by catharsis purification of mind and body.
The first is the hesychast tradition in Eastern Orthodoxy, which upholds silence as the final culmination of one's salvation and ascent into the eternal fellowship of the Trinity.
For me, 'silent' means the 'nothing' from which God created the world. Ideally, a silent pause is something sacred If someone approaches silence with love, then this might give birth to music. A composer must often wait a long time for his music. Theoria and theosis holiness through grace are closely connected since by the former the latter can be gained. For many listeners the object of contemplation may be Part's music itself. It is interesting that the notion of theoria occurring during an action that is repeated occurs on two levels for Part's music.
On the macrolevel, pieces can be listened to repeatedly to achieve oneness with the divine. On the micro level, repetition of phrases and pitches in tintinnabuli music aids the mind in a kind of deep reflection. It may also be that Part thinks that we, as mere humans, do not need to understand or even notice the Magnificat text.
Instead, rather like gaining grace by standing in the light streaming through a stained glass window too high in a church for its details to be distinguished, simply hearing the theology in the form of the music of the Magnificat may be valuable to us. Such a belief would explain Part's apparent lack of concern to speak for his music, preferring instead for the music to speak for itself, to anyone who wants to listen.
Universal Edition McCarthy, "An interview with Arvo Part," Passio Universal Edition , composed in , was one of the first pieces to utilize a sophisticated rhythmic scheme based on the number of syllables in each word and their place in each clause.

Part founded his own archive in a dedicated Part Centre in Estonia in When it opens to the public the Centre will bring together the entire creative heritage of the composer and related information and documents, both in physical and digital form. The second bass part becomes a tintinnabuli voice. Hillier also falls into the trap of trying to divine the compositional methods ii I Part uses for the Magnificat by directly relating them to previous works, and even I goes as far as to suggest how Part should have composed the piece according to rules I f I that belong to an earlier piece see Hillier, Arvo Piirt, Eco, The Role of the Reader, 7.
