Arvo Pärt “Spiegel im Spiegel“ for Voice, Kantele and Piano along with M. K. Čiurlionis pictures.

Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel im Spiegel“ was composed originally for piano and violin and since then multiple transcriptions have been made (cello, flute oboe etc). We performed the art experiment giving the violin part to soprano voice, piano’s arpeggios to the Karelian chromatic kantele and left piano’s highest and lowest inclusions to piano. The video is accompanied with pictures of great Lithuanian artist and composer Mikalojus K. Čiurlionis (1875 – 1911) whose “out of this World“ symbolic art perfectly matches “Spiegel im Spiegel“.
