Spiegel im Spiegel

Jul 26, 2007 00:26

Tonight I went to see an excellent play called "Eurydice" by Sarah Ruhl. Perhaps I'll post more about it later, but it made use of a piece of music that a little Internet research has told me is called "Spiegel im Spiegel", by Arvo Part. I KNOW I have heard this piece somewhere before. As I was walking home I got a flash of it playing during the end credits of a TV show, where some big revelation has just occurred or some cliff hanger is about to happen. Anyone who wants to search it on iTunes (I downloaded the New Philharmonic Orchestra version) and tell me where I might have seen it will get bonus points for life. (Maybe it appeared at the end of a depressing movie? It's going to drive me nuts.)

Download the piece of music for the hell of it. It's spare and beautiful. You can really do so much with so little.
