Thank you for something positive on what I experience every year as the saddest anniversary in American history. I am only a little familiar with Part's music. It reminds me of Terrence Malick's sonic sensibility in his films, and indeed Malick used Part in three of his movies, including "A Hidden Life" about Bl. Franz Jagerstatter. Part has such an interesting background, esp. being a non-Slavic Orthodox in a region dominated by Russia (and formerly the Soviet Union). Imagine an Orthodox Estonian discovering the music of the Latin West in an area once fought over by the Teutonic Knights. And Bach? He is the Master, always making music that glorifies God.
