 Pärt Song

Prima Pars 

The music is mystic and slow,

As if it has no place to go.

Performers have found

You can turn it around

And it sounds just the same even so.

Secunda Pars 

It isn’t a criminal act

To compose with subliminal tact.

His basis is stasis,

Whatever the case is,

And THAT is a minimal fact!
