Arvo Pärt - "Trivium" for organ (audio + sheet music)

The organ piece Trivium is one of the first works created in the new style, which were performed by Hortus Musicus on 27 October 1976 in the Estonia Concert Hall, Tallinn. For the very first time the audience heard the word tintinnabuli, the name of Pärt’s new composition technique, as the title of the first part of this legendary concert.
Trivium is the only one of these seven works, where the instrumentation has not changed since the 1976 concert. Back then, it was performed by Rolf Uusväli, one of the most outstanding Estonian organ soloists and Arvo Pärt’s former colleague from his days at Estonian Radio.
The Latin title of the work, Trivium, stands for three paths, -- named after three of the seven liberal arts in Medieval education (grammar, logic, and rhetoric), which lead in the same destination - the Truth. Although the three parts are made distinct by loudness and registration, as well as more dissonance in the middle section, it remains in D minor and in the same tempo. By pairing the harmonies into an unrelentingly repeated rhythmic idea, single pulses follow longer (or sometimes equal) durations throughout.
(Arvo Pärt, LA Philharmonic)

Everything on purpose! Not one accidental!

[@ArturKorotin]

LOL, I can't tell of that's a pun or not.😆

[@thenameisgsarci]

@@ArturKorotin It definitely is. :)

[@franckmousset4022]

It is precisely because of this that we are bored to death.

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

Interesting organ sound

[@alessandropalazzani]

Anyone know where the basic melody of this piece comes from? In the third section it's played by the left hand. In the others is a bit hidden but always present. It's a Gregorian chant?

[@AndyE775]

Yes it is!

[@FangYaGe]

@@AndyE775 oh, interesting! do you happen to know which chant it is?

[@underscoreellipsesdothyphe1563]

Would be interesting to hear channels opinions on Arvo Part as I know he's a love - hate composer for many people ,at least so I gather from his symphonies ..

[@thenameisgsarci]

*screenshot this question on discord*
Cmaj7: boring, too empty
paefill: quaint
organised sound: has some really really cool and interesting ideas but a lot of the time i don;t think his ideas translate into music i like very much
Stefano Paparozzi: I like 3-4 of his pieces and the idea behind them, but for the rest I honestly think he's just making fool of us all
Ryan Power: I only like certain pärts of his music
*entire chat spirals into puns*

[@RedstoneManiac13]

This is a different Trivium than I'm used to.

II. reminds me of The Other Side, written by Michael Nyman, from the film Gattaca

[@spiritussanctusband]

Does anyone know, if the registration in the score is original from the composer?

[@einereinar]

Yes, it is from him
