Saturday Morning

~ Live & Learn

Here I am alone with silence.

I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played.

This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me.

~ Arvo Pärt, in Arvo Pärt by Paul Hillier

  3. next time you are in a crowd with rain pouring down, listen to this! 😉

    Love Pärt, have been singing Pärt, listen to this CD often … must be the lonely plains of the North. More soothing than the rain…

  9. I recently began listening to Arvo Pärt in the early mornings as I read my favorite blogs … and especially Spiegel Im Spiegle (for Cello and Piano) and Fur Alina. He’s been a favorite of mine since the turn of the century. Makes me seem old when I say it that way, doesn’t it? Both of these masterpieces remind me of the quote:

    “The music is not in the notes, but …… in the ………….. silence … between ……..” ~ Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
