The Silence And Awe Of Arvo Pärt
The article seemed interesting but I didn't exactly read it,
because Arvo Pärt has always been a composer I respect and know of, but I haven't directly
listened to his music or been to any of his concerts so it didn't strike my interest, but on the
bottom of the same page was a review where a journalist described his music very vividly and

The silence and awe of Arvo Pärt is an article written by Tom Huizenga. There he talks about
Pärt's childhood and how he found his current style. The most important was what inspires him

had the opportunity to talk to the man. The journalist had also brought along a small bell and set
it down on the table between them
