DESCRIPTION:
-SPIEGEL IM SPIEGEL IS A WELL-KNOWN EXAMPLE OF ARVO PART`S TINTINNABULI STYLE AND HAS BEEN USED IN MANY FILMS. SPIEGEL IM SPIEGEL ILLUSTRATES HIS CREATIVE PRINCIPLES: ABOVE A PERMANENT FLOW OF CHORDS ON THE PIANO, THE CELLO UNFOLDS A CANTILENA IN LONG NOTE VALUES, WHICH GROWS OUT OF SUCCINCT STEPS. THIS CANTILENA SPINS OUT SWEEPING, CHORALE-LIKE ARCHES AND SPREADS ITSELF OUT MORE AND MORE. IT THUS GIVES RISE TO A NEW ARCHITECTONIC CONFIGURATION WHICH, LIKE A MEDIATION CHAPEL, STIMULATIES REFLECTION, PRAYER, OR THE DESIRE FOR REDEMPTION.
