Arvo Pärt - Fratres download song

The study of sacred music brought him onto the path of polyphony. Let this man be an inspiration to many, this piece and those alike shall be remembered for centuries to come.

Cut the tension with a knife.

When i heard that for the first time, i was in the car with my dad, we listened to the radio, i was 15 and at the end of the track, iv'e found my master of thinking : a listener is a prism, the music is just the light. A human is a prism, the world is just the light. Now, i'm proud of me.

I'm going deaf, so I'm listening to this half from memory, I can't hear it all... but tears are streaming down.

When you want to listen to music and google plays an obnoxiously loud ad featuring what can be most charitably described as "sirens over a drum beat."

This. Is. Beautiful. My violin teacher, the concert master of an orchestra, is playing this and that's what brought me here. I have no words to describe this. I am totally looking forward to her performance. I'm addicted to this. My drug.

‘the instant and eternity are struggling within us’

If god made everything in seven days, this guy summaries it in just few minutes!

The desperation grabs you by the throat at 5:22. Goosebumps.

This piece proves there's still much room for brilliant classical music to be composed. For this reason the genre cannot simply be forgotten by modern musicians. We owe it to the composers of the last few centuries, to our children and to musical history itself.

Wonderfully depressing... I will always love this piece.

I've practiced this piece myself before, and brought it to my teacher for help. He said I was wasting my time on it-- wanting me to work on more standard rep. It's such a beautiful "waste" of time though.

Towers burning, worlds turning as rich men shake hands in secrecy. Nothing that is hidden will not be revealed.

This piece of music makes me feel less sad about dying one day, and less depressed about living.

I don't know how this guy unlocked this melody from his mind but I'm sure glad he did.

Fantastic! Loved this in "There Will be Blood."

Could someone reccomend something like this. I've never found something quite like this. It's unique and haunting.

I can find a sense of appreciation for nearly all genres of music. But if I'm looking for something that transcends being merely entertainment I come to this piece. This is not mere entertainment, this is spiritual for me. Fratres for me is like an emotional 'mirror' reflection of how I feel about life as a nihilist. I don't share this piece with anyone close to me, not even my wife and kids , because I fear that they would not grant it the respect or attention I believe it is entitled to, and that in turn would hurt me because Fratres matters so much to me. I usually listen to this at 4am in the morning when everyones asleep as I'm doing right now. It just reaches me like no other piece of music. Don't some of you feel the same way? I really feel privileged to have lived to hear something so beautiful, so, sublime.
