There are two beautiful insights in Roxanna Panufnik's brief reflection on Arvo Pärt found in today's Guardian. First, that "the beauty in spirituality lies in just "being" – stillness, meditative blankets of slowly shifting harmonies and letting the reverberant acoustic of churches and cathedrals do the work." Second, that Pärt says two prayers before each premiere: "First, I pray for peace. Then I pray that everyone will feel my love in the music."
