Cappella Romana | Old Saint Nick: Saint Nicholas in the East & West

Cappella Romana explores how Eastern and Western Christian traditions imagined Saint Nicholas through music, pairing medieval works by Dufay with contemporary pieces by Arvo Pärt at Holy Rosary Catholic Church in West Seattle. If you're drawn to early sacred music or minimalist composition, this is a chance to hear how the same saint sounded across centuries and continents.

Our vision is to give a glimpse of transcendence through the music of the Christian East and West.

Arvo Pärt
„Mis maksab üks heli või sõna? Need tuhanded, mis meie kõrvust mööda voolavad, on teinud tuimaks meie vastuvõtuaparaadi. Hoolikalt suhtuda igasse helisse, sõnasse, teosse.“ (Arvo Pärt) Muusikaajaloos ei ole palju heliloojaid, kes kirjutaksid muusikat omaloodud kompositsioonitehnikas või kelle helikeel oleks juba teose esimestest taktidest eksimatult äratuntav. Arvo Pärt on üks selliseid loojaid.
