Pärt: Drei Hirtenkinder aus Fátima for mixed choir (SATB) a cappella

Inspired by his visit to Fátima, scene of a famous Marian Apparition in 1917, Arvo Pärt wrote a small choral piece based on a passage from Psalm 8.3 “Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings thou hast perfected praise”.
The choral piece is dedicated to painter Gerhard Richter and first premiered in Basel (CH) in 2014.
