Spiegel im Spiegel by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt is a beautiful, reflective work for violin (played by Brandon Vance) and piano (played by Eliot Grasso).

Artist Statement: “We have always loved Pärt’s sublime duet Spiegel Im Spiegel (Mirror in Mirrors) for its clarity, its peaceful pacing, and for the humane musical dialogue that transpires between violin and piano. The piano’s reassuring arpeggios ground the violin’s melodic questions and answers. And, the violin’s earnest questions and answers sit easily within the transparent fabric of the piano’s earthy low range and celestial high range. The resulting musical conversation creates a sonic space that lifts the burdens of this world far above us and gives us a glimpse of an existence without suffering, an existence that the gospel promises to the people of God. Our hope is that this music will communicate to you the deep peace and consolation that it brings to both of us.”
