Summary/Abstract: By analysis of Arvo Pärt’s composition Fratres one can show the stylistic permeation of the Renaissance contrapuntal organisation of polyphony, evidencing features of bitonality and bimodality on the one hand, and on the other hand features of the modern employment of several constructive approaches and compositional principles, expressed in a diatonic setting, a variant form and a rhythmic series.
