Arvo Pärt’s De profundis (1977) is a choral work for male voices (TTBB), percussion, and organ, based on Psalm 130, a penitential psalm from the Latin Vulgate (“Out of the depths I cry to you, O Lord”). Composed in Pärt’s signature tintinnabuli style, it features minimalist textures, stark harmonic clarity, and a meditative atmosphere. The piece unfolds slowly, with layered vocal lines and resonant organ drones, evoking a sense of spiritual longing and introspection. The percussion adds subtle, ritualistic accents. Typically lasting about 5–7 minutes, it’s a profound, contemplative setting of the sacred text, emphasizing humility and hope.
