♪ Hortus Musicus, "Fratres" (1979) (Arvo Pärt, original version, 1977) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cruMavOjYlw

The usual versions of "Fratres" stem from Arvo Pärt's 1980 transciption for violin and piano of this orginal version from 1977 which is performed by the Estonian ensemble Hortus Musicus. The differences in tension and colour are impressive, the repetition of the theme makes far more sense when played by various sets of instruments.
