Arvo Pärt has worked in cooperation with the Ensemble for several decades, dedicating a music piece to them. The Hilliard Ensemble was the premiere performer of Arvo Pärt's several creative works, including Litany. 'Arvo Pärt's music acknowledges silence and death, thereby asserting life's basic truths. It lives with us, weak and fragile, it follows and glorifies the sacred beauty of life.' Paul Hillier |
