about

Solfeggio was Pärt’s first a cappella choir piece. The laconic musical structure is based on a simple scale of C major. Voices enter in different octaves successively with notes from the tone row, forming vertical sound clusters. The text consists only of syllable names of the notes: do, re, mi, fa, sol, la, si. The conductor and Pärt scholar Paul Hillier has pointed out that occasionally some triads occur among the clusters, “as if the composer got caught up in a secret garden, but is not yet ready to understand its beauty, which is perfect unto itself.”

Solfeggio is dedicated to the conductor Eri Klas and was premiered by the Estonian Radio Choir 1964. Later, the composer arranged Solfeggio for string quartet (2008), saxophone quartet (2008) and eight or four cellos (2010). This is our arrangement for five Wagner Tubas.
