{"product_id":"arvo-prts-tabula-rasa-9780190468989","title":"Arvo Pärt's Tabula Rasa","description":"One of today's most widely acclaimed composers, Arvo Pärt broke into the soundscape of the Cold War West with \u003cem\u003eTabula Rasa\u003c\/em\u003e in 1977, a work that introduced his signature \u003cem\u003etintinnabuli \u003c\/em\u003estyle to listeners throughout the world. In the first book dedicated to this pathbreaking composition, author\u003cbr\u003eKevin C. Karnes tells the story of \u003cem\u003eTabula Rasa \u003c\/em\u003eas one of Pärt and of Europe itself, traced over the course of a quarter-century that saw momentous transitions in European culture and politics, history and memory. Beginning at the site of the work's creation in the Estonian SSR, and drawing\u003cbr\u003eextensively upon a range of previously unexamined archival materials, Karnes recounts Pärt's discovery of \u003cem\u003etintinnabuli \u003c\/em\u003eamidst his experiments with the music of the Western and Soviet avant-gardes. He examines \u003cem\u003eTabula Rasa \u003c\/em\u003ein relation to modernist conceptions of musical structure, the ascetic practice\u003cbr\u003eof Orthodox Christianity, postwar experiences of electronic music, and the polystylistic approaches to composition that have become emblematic of the Soviet 1970s. Tracing the export of \u003cem\u003eTabula Rasa \u003c\/em\u003eto the West and Pärt's emigration in 1980, the book reveals intersections of critical commentary with\u003cbr\u003evisions of the end of history that attended the collapse of European communism to suggest that it was in this confluence of listening, discovery, and geopolitical reordering that enduring lines of conversation about Pärt and his music took shape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kevin C.
