Vox Clamantis - De Passio van Arvo Pärt

Deeply felt and religious music by Pärt's favourite choir in Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ. We live in turbulent times. They are complex, intricate, full of tensions. Many therefore seek refuge somewhere. And that refuge is often called Arvo Pärt. His music is a search for simplicity: 'I have chosen to let a single note sound beautiful. Simplicity. The truth is simple and the path to it is straight.' From directness and sobriety he composed his spiritual Passio.

Gregorian music

It is one of the most beloved works of the Estonian composer, who will celebrate his 90th birthday in 2025. Deeply felt, religious music. Stripped down and condensed, with a cast of five instruments, six soloists and choir. 'Rumor has it' that Vox Clamantis is Pärt's favorite choir. The composer and choir have been working together for years. The fact that it specializes in Gregorian music certainly also benefits Pärt's almost medieval sounds.
