Mattner, Lothar . "Arvo Pärt: Tabula Rasa." Melos 2, 1985, 82-99.

The Melos article by Mattner is very good quality: an extensive analysis of Tabula rasa, with long examples from the score. He starts off by describing tintinnabuli, using examples from Stabat mater, Credo (!), Für Alina, Missa sillabica, Te Deum, Summa and De profundis. There are musical examples from all these. He then gives a detailed analysis of Tabula rasa, with extensive examples from the score. Interesting is that his examples (except for De profundis and Tabula rasa) are from the composer's manuscript. -Randy Tollefsen
