Fratres is a composition by the Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, existing in versions for a wide variety of instrumentations and exemplifying Pärt's tintinnabuli style of composition. Structurally, the piece consists of a set of eight or nine chord sequences, separated by a recurring percussion motif. The chord sequences themselves follow a clear pattern, and while the progressing chords explore a rich harmonic space, they nevertheless appear to have been generated by means of a simple formula.[2]
The first version for string quintet and wind quintet (early music ensemble) was written by Pärt in 1977. Further versions were written over the years leading up to about 1992.
Several versions of the piece exist, some of which are listed below. Each version typically has a duration of seven to twelve minutes in performance. Fratres exists perhaps most prominently in its versions for violin, string orchestra, and percussion and for violin and piano. Similarity to these versions of the others varies: for instance, the versions for viola and piano, or cello and piano are almost exactly the same as that for violin, whereas the version for string quartet is more similar to the cello version.
The versions include:
Strings and percussion
Violin, strings and percussion
String quartet
Cello and piano
Four, eight, twelve... cellos
Wind octet and percussion
String quintet
Wind quintet
Violin and piano
Viola and Piano
Saxophone Quartet
Guitar, string orchestra and percussion
A performance by the Hungarian State Opera Orchestra conducted by Tamás Benedek, recorded in 1997, was used in the six-part BBC documentary Auschwitz: The Nazis and the 'Final Solution' produced by Laurence Rees in 2005. Another version was featured in the 2007 film There Will Be Blood directed by Paul Thomas Anderson, the 2013 film The Place Beyond the Pines directed by Derek Cianfrance and the teaser trailer for the upcoming 2013 film A Single Shot, starring Sam Rockwell.
Jazz pianist Aaron Parks incorporated elements of Fratres into his composition "Harvesting Dance," heard on his album Invisible Cinema and on Terence Blanchard's album Flow.
My favourite interpretation of this piece. My goodness, it gives me something that I cannot explain. I feel like... underwater.
I love this version! It's a little more "frantic" than some but I think this suits the piece. Excellent!
Meant with the most humble respect: When our bodies decay and disappear this music in the hands of the next master will sing as true as you make it here. This is where this music takes me and feels like it expresses itself.
Love this Lana and Yoko and great video Boris!
magnifique version
Bravo! Great Song! Lana Trotovsek like an angel!
Un brano straordinario, che non conoscevo, qualcosa che ti lascia...una sensazioni di.....altro e....altrove!
Breathtaking piece!
Absolutely sence of Part's music. Most precision and sharp interpretation.
My string ensemble performed the orchestral version of this piece. As I researched it, I found that the piece has a deep spiritual significance, influenced by Part's Orthodox Christian faith. The meaning of the title, "Fratres" is "brotherhood", similar to a name for a group of monks. The repeating pizzicato sections are reminiscent of the bells which call the brotherhood to prayer. Although the string version is so very different in sound from the violin/piano version, the harmonic progression is the same, making a complete cycle to rest in the same place that it started from. The meaning can be so personal to the performer and listener! The violin part to me sounds like a cry from the depths of one's heart, perhaps in prayer.
The repeating double stops section is heart wrenching and full of longing
Beautifully said
Bellissimo❤
Magnifique... Il y a encore une suite dans la musique classique, quoiqu'en disent les puristes...
Beautiful video with marvellous performance.
Wow, speechless
Sensibilidad a flor de piel, cúmulo de emociones. Espíritu profundo y Altamente expresivo. Gracias
This is like listening to a prayer. One minute it's a fervent anguished cry... and then God's calm response. Then the turmoil boils up again... and billows around like a wind.... and then it is calmed.
sencillamente sublime
Call me crazy but I'd much rather watch a straight performance without all the scenery and special effects. As nice as they are, I think music like this can and should speak for itself.
+Shunarjuna I second that; though I appreciate a show when it comes to other genres of music perhaps, for music like this, I prefer to be captivated fully by the sound, whereas visual stimuli is nice too, but in this case it diverts attention from what's truly enthralling here.
Agree, absolutely. This is visually so overdone... the visual interpretation does not add here, it rather takes something away from Part's music....
I guess both types of video performance are valid and necessary in today's. It's needed different eyesight to enjoy these artistic interpretation.
Shunarjuna I agree with you
Excellent performance 👏🌷
Great masterpiece performed here in a sublime way and a nice setting in the vid!
Strange it only has 15k hits after a year!
The water looks cold heh
I have tears streaming down my face... How have I never heard this before... Absolutely incredible composition, and execution! Those harmonics are so freaking delicious... She has wonderful control.
Magique!
Amazing performance ... Wow: 4:10
Beautiful!
Astonishing
Gorgeous, Lana. So wonderful to hear you. Come back to Wellfleet to play. I promise lots of chicken.
Fantastic you guys! xx
So Cool!
Perfect.
4:13 = HO! LEE! SHit! Wrist whippin and game changin'! Wow! I've heard so many versions of this song, no one has the balls to pull that card! You really went for it. So happy to see that.
Lana Trotovsek, you are my goddess and I am now only but your loyal subject, humbly standing in your court asking for your smile cast upon thy unworthy face.
overwhelming...beautiful...stunning... incredible...need more...
Increíble
Wow, I love this video. Bravo Lana and Yoko, fantastic music making!

The music that will be played when the world ends.
Лана Прекрасна и васхетительна!
Hopefully
Stunning and enveloping.
superb! thank u, very powerful violin playing, good intonation
Extraordinaria interpretacion,lastima,la ecualizacion sonora no es la mejor,el piano muy alto y apaga los armonicos, casi no se aprecian,aun asi,Ella hace que aflore el espíritu y alma de esta gran piezal,sencillamente maravilloso,bravo Lana👏👏
It's a great execution, it's a great video, creative and carefully production, every detail is considered, two beauties playing, congratulations, and of course is a timeless music of Arvo Part, thanks for sharing. Greetings from Mexico
OVERWHELMING WOW SO BEAUTIFULL I SAW YOUR VIDEO ON STJEPAN S SITE NEVER HEARD OF THANKS FOR SHARING WILLI FROM HOLLAND
Grande atmosfera, bellissimo video.
In the beggining, it looks realy easy to play it, because you just keep your hand at the same position, but i really don´t think it is this easy.Congratulations you two.
And i love 2cellos, im going to your show in São Paulo, Brazil!!!
Krasive jewuska.
BEASTTT (O.O)
Really really good. I've played this piece myself but that was a more experimental version. I played vibraphone with sticks but also with bow through a kaoss pad. But this is so beautiful!
Great work, Bravo, Brava :-)
"Ladies and gentlemen, if I say I'm an oil man, you will agree."
A fine interpretation. Rivals Mr. Kremer's.
Beautiful... THX!!!! (Y)
It's also the basis for sol seppy's song "gold."
Witness ;-)
Liked the version very much. And contrary to what some have said below, the visual do add something different. In my opinion. I am sooo tired of all those boring performances, always the same, always dressed the same, same environment. Elitist. This IS different and it was intended to be different. I particularly liked the effect of the image of the water mixing with that of the floor.
très bonne version mais le problème reste l'accord du piano)o dans l'exrtreme grave qui reste mauvais la c'est lamentable l'accordeur n'est pas à la hauteur .L'accord r du piano doit se faire une heure avant le concert c'est faux complète-ment dans les graves
Apparentely 14 can do this BETTER! OK, upload your version than FCOL! >:-D
Next to the legendary version of Gidon Kremer & Keith Jarrett; this version also is extremely good.
