My apologies to fans of
the Sunday Music feature for today’s post being so late.
We wrap up our series on
Esmerine with something a bit different—their version of Arvo Pärt’s “Spiegel
Im Spiegel”. It’s actually how I discovered Esmerine, & also serves as a
lead-in to announce that next month we will be featuring Pärt’s music—&
there are five Sundays this April. Of course five posts will scarcely even begin to introduce Pärt’s work.
Esmerine dedicated their
performance of “Spiegel Im Spiegel” (which means “Mirror in Mirror”—a symbol of
infinity) to their deceased friend, Lhasa de Sela. They also recorded a song
titled “Snow Day for Lhasa” in his memory; this was included on their 2011
Constellation release, La Lechuza.
You can listen to a live version of that song here.
If you’ve enjoyed this
series on Esmerine, please consider supporting them by purchasing their music.

Ahhhhh! You finally answered your enigmatic comment when I mentioned how their music reminded me of Pärt. Yup, their styles are very compatible. And I'm glad to see that you'll be featuring Pärt next month!
