Par PART ARVO. This work was composed originally in 1992 for the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson-Trio on commission by the Helsinki Festival, where it was premiered. The piece is in memory of Oleg Kagan, who was a friend of Arvo Pärt's and one of Russia's leading violinists. Kagan had a special affinity with the music of Mozart and the composer memorialises the violinist by transcribing one of the most affecting movements of the youthful composer's piano sonatas, the Adagio from the Sonata in F Major, K. 280./ Répertoire / Clarinette, Violoncelle et Piano

This Paert piano trio (UE030456) was written as a memorial to a violinist friend who had a special affinity for Mozart's works. Paert chose the deeply expressive Adagio movement from Mozart's Piano Sonata K.280 and layered string voices throughout in a sublime pairing of 18th and 20th century voices. The present edition substitutes a clarinet for the violin part.

for string orchestra, with optional organ This moving piece for string orchestra is full of pathos and emotion. Stylistically evocative of Samuel Barber's Adagio for Strings and the distinctive musical language of Arvo Pärt, Lament is based around a two-bar arching ostinato, artfully developing musical fragments and enriching the texture to reach a powerful central climax. This is a welcome addition to the string orchestra repertory. This piece was recorded on the 2019 Mormon Tabernacle Choir and Orchestra CD Tree of Life under the title 'And Wept Bitterly (Lament on an Ostinato for String Orchestra)'.
