I have been researching contemporary choral work for my walks to school.  I have found two composers that are alive and producing important work full of space and spirituality.  Arvo Pärt (Pronounced Pairt) a composer from Estonia is here being interviewed by Björk a Iceland artist.

This morning I bought a download from Amazon

Arvo Pärt: Da Pacem

Here is a Youtube of Magnificat – a moving example from this recording.

The other composer that has come to my attention is John Tavener, an English composer who has been a prolific composer of choral music.  He is famous for the music that was part of the Princess Diana’s funeral – Song for Athene.

I have purchase a couple of the Tavener Titles but I am really enjoying Darkness into Light
