The Bible and Music

I’m excited to hear what Dr. Robert Saler has to say about Arvo Part. Using the link that professor McGrath shared with us, I read about Arvo Part and watched the video of Part playing music and talking a little bit about it. I thought Part’s piano playing was very calming, and I could tell that a lot of emotion was portrayed through his music. The text states, “His music gets labeled as timeless, spiritual, and meditative.” The one thing I was confused on is the multiple mentions of pain being expressed through his music… I would like to know more about that. Overall, it is very cool that Part is the most performed living composer!
