Christus Factus Est, for strings
This piece was born out of an exercise to more deeply understand Arvo Pärt's trademark tintinnabuli style. It is a simple, yet moving and reflective work for orchestra. Christus Factus Est was originally written for TTBB choir, and so the rhythms all come from the text, meaning the Christus Factus Est could be superimposed onto all of these parts. Upon orchestrating the piece for strings, I found that it worked much more effectively for orchestra than for choir, and left it as it was. |
