Summa (Pärt)

Summa is a composition by Estonian composer Arvo Pärt.^[1] It was initially written as a choral work (a setting of the Credo), then later scored by Pärt for instruments.^[2] It has been described as "gently rocked muted harmonic simplicities back and forth" when it was performed by the Kronos Quartet in 1992.^[3]
