Arvo Pärt's Beatitudes really kick ass. We heard the Elora Festival Singers perform an all-Pärt concert this evening. The Beatitudes were definitely the best part. It wasn't quite "wiping tears from my eyes" beautiful, but just nearly. I need to listen to d's CD version to see if it compares to hearing it live. This performance/setting had less organ than the first time I heard it (by Da Capo, this spring) and I think I liked tonight's better.

I think I haven't heard the Passion by him, so I'll be on the lookout.
