Discovering Music: Arvo Pärt

Charles joins the BBC National Orchestra of Wales for a workshop on Estonian composer Arvo Pärt, whose work has a profoundly spiritual quality.

Listen to the programme

Pärt is one of the 3 composers whom I really adore (the other 2 are Bach and Stravinsky). Yup…. and nothing in between!

Gould resurrected

Live concert with GG — through a little bit of midi and a lot of ears…

Behind The Manual

Beautiful

Not that I like Christina Aguilera or anything, I brought this song up for all of you who have been sacrificing yourselves for the benefit of others, yet only to find yourselves being misunderstood, framed, attacked and wrongly accused.

The world consisted of 2 peoples: those who doubt the intention of others and do nothing, and those who never doubt their own intentions and continue to do their thing.

Beautiful

[Spoken]
Don’t look at me

Every day is so wonderful
And suddenly, it’s hard to breathe
Now and then, I get insecure
From all the pain, I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down
So don’t you bring me down today

To all your friends, you’re delirious
So consumed in all your doom
Trying hard to fill the emptiness
The piece is gone let the puzzle undone
Is that the way it is

You are beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring you down
You are beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring you down
So don’t you bring me down today…

No matter what we do
No matter what we say
We’re the song inside the tune, Full of beautiful mistakes
And everywhere we go, the sun will always shine
And tomorrow we might awake on the other side

‘Cause we are beautiful, no matter what they say
Yes words won’t bring us down, no
We are beautiful in every single way
Yes words can’t bring us down
So don’t you bring me down today.

Don’t you bring me down today
Don’t you bring me down today
