Arvo Pärt - Für Alina free for downloading

my old classmate is arvo pärt's grandchild. yesterday we went to arvo pärt's centre and the guide there told us about this song. alina was a girl who was arvo's family friend. her parents divorced and the father took the child and went away from estonia. this song is about the feelings alina and her mother felt. it's truly heartbreaking:(

still incredible...wow. Love it.

Can't miss what you never had?

My neighbour is Arvo Pärt's grandchild :)

He is using a sub third below the melody to simulate the tonal qualities of a bell.

This is the purest form of silence

“Für Alina”. This, shattered my heart.

Listen to the silence in music!

I almost get teary eyed listening to his music- it's so beautiful oh my god

I'm listening to this watching the sun come up ..and realize that the sun will keep coming up..long after I am gone

Für me :) Thank you so much for this wonderful piece of music, Mr Arvo Pärt.

On paper I look at some silly notes. When I open my ears, I hear the echo of the Universe.

Here because of a novel. ^_^^_^^_^

I do not understand. It is just two voices, both pure on their own but together something more. Isn't the ability for so simple a thing to interact, to dance together, to create anything you would call "thrust" beautiful in itself?
