Pärt describes the music of this period as tintinnabuli--like the ringing of bells. Spiegel im Spiegel (1978) is a well-known example which has been used in many films. Pärt's music came to public attention in the West largely thanks to Manfred Eicher who recorded several of Pärt's compositions for ECM Records starting in 1984. He wrote for the memory of the Estonian President Lennart Meri a composition named Für Lennart. It was played at Meri's funeral service on 2 April 2006. On 10 December 2011, Pärt was appointed a member of the Pontifical Council for Culture for a five-year renewable term by Pope Benedict XVI (Paavstlik kultuurinõukogu).
