I got a Penderecki compilation the other day

fuckin' heavy

Penderecki is definitely one of my favorite composers, both with his early avant-garde material and more traditionally leaning later stuff

Obā-san · 2013-02-21 23:07:20

i would say outright favorite but Arvo Part

Imipolex G · 2013-02-21 23:10:09

@ Polymorphia:

WTF

WTF

I just got trolled

dat C major chord at the end

WTF

oh wow

oh wow

that chord is the sound of the birth of a new universe after the apocalypse

also several of his older pieces have actual chords popping up out of nowhere when you don't expect them

See the major triads that show up in St. Luke Passion, which i am having an inordinately fucking hard time finding a good quality recording of on youtube >:/

It's kind of like Milton Babbit tossing major triads into his wonky total serialist quartets: It's jarring because you have inverted your expectations and flipping back is just weird.

In Babbit, the effect is witty and absurd; in Penderecki, it's surreal and awe-inspiring.
