  • Goeyvaerts String Trio explains in this video the use of 'just intonation' in Arvo Pärt's Stabat Mater on their new recording. The three members - Kristien Roels, Kris Matthyssens and Pieter Stas - have been experimenting for years with intonation. First they found out that playing the piece with vibrato did not work for them so they studied it WITHOUT vibrato. After years and years of practice they now have found a way to play the piece in 'just intonation' and a whole new world opens itself. Different layers become audible/visible.
    This is the first recording ever of the Stabat Mater of Pärt in 'just intonation'. In this video we hear the beautiful and fragile opening of the work. The whole piece of course is to be found on the cd: www.challengere...
    See also the promotional TH-cam video of the recording of Stabat Mater: • Goeyvaerts String Trio...
    In the promotional video and on the cd you can, besides the Goeyvaerts String Trio ,also see and hear the three performing singers: Zsuzsi Tóth, Barnabas Hegyi and Olivier Berten.
    Furthermore on the same cd you'll hear the new piece written by Ivan Moody called Simeron, especially composed for the trio.

    This is the most beautiful piece of music I've ever heard in my entire life! Words cannot describe what I'm feeling right now. I don't think I really know what I'm feeling. All I know is that this moved me like nothing I've ever heard before!

    Jump directly to different tunings and vibrato/non-vibrato technique, for comparing them:
    0:59 with vibrato, non-Just (Equal Temperament, if)
    2:27 without vibrato, non-Just (Equal Temperament?)
    3:53 without vibrato, Just Intonation

    It sounds wonderful in just intonation. I wonder if the composer has heard this recording, and, if so, what he thinks about his music performed in this tuning.

    Looks like Mr. Pärt himself playing on the right!

    I’ve been seeking out everything I can hear in just intonation, and now I know that it’s what equal temperament has always been missing.

    Are the instruments tuned in 440Hz or 432Hz?

      +Peter De Meyer Are you still a fan of 432? I am undecided as of yet, I love the maths of it, but am unsure if it translates to music except that a lower A is quite nice.

      432 Hz or any other tuning pitch has nothing to do with just intonation, there's no special math in that number, and the instruments are in standard pitch which I'd assume would be the composer's preference.

      Exept the math is based on Herz which is based on seconds which is an arbetrery number.

      @@aarondooley6969 The math with 440Hz is actually way simpler. A major third (5/4 ratio) above 440Hz is 550Hz (a really easy calculation to do in your head), as opposed to above 432Hz, which is 540Hz (not as obvious). This principle is the same with all low ratios.

      It’s almost like bagpipes
