Nenad, I think it depends how you define sadness. In generally acceptable definition, I would not say that was the case. In some poetic definition, if you think for example of peace and serenity in your soul, accepting ones mortality etc. being the "sadness", then yes, it could be that kind of sadness. Like some people read the Bible in the sense that Jesus never laughed aloud but cried many times. But it is that kind of sadness that is in fact identical with happiness. Happiness of knowing you are the child of God who loves you and is always present with you. That is what I hear from his music.
"in der Hoffnung"
einfach prächtig!
The camera is so intimately close...
The original music was written for voices
Mr. Arvo Pärt must be very very sad man.
Nenad Kitanović And you very very superficial man

The idea of being a child of god is enough to make anyone feel sad!
On the contrary,,, a really happy man! I guess!
The song's title means "In Hope."
