Coincidentally, Arvo P�rt uses the term to describe his works, post-1970 or so, after his sabbatical. Note the following, borrowed (without permission) from http://www.musicolog.com/:
"I have discovered that it is enough when a single note is beautifully played. This one note, or a silent beat, or a moment of silence, comforts me. I work with very few elements - with one voice, two voices. I build with primitive materials - with the triad, with one specific tonality. The three notes of a triad are like bells and that is why I call it tintinnabulation." -Arvo P�rt
Thought that was kinda neat.
