I used to hear this piece a lot when I was a dance student. For some reason, for a couple of years choreographers thought it was terrific. It's a nice, contemplative, somewhat melancholy piece -- Kronos Quartet included it on their Winter Was Hard album (which is another review that no longer appears at Epinions, Shopping.com, or eBay. Look for it Sunday.
I couldn't find a live performance version of Kronos doing it, but this is a more than creditable interpretation by Endymion:
Did I mention that Pärt is one of my favorite composers? I spent an entire summer listening to his Passio at the beach.
(Yes, I know it's Thursday. Deal with it.)
