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)
