Krzysztof Penderecki -- Polymorphia

Happy Halloween, everyone! Everyone talks about 'creepy' music they hear, stuff with little squeaks and ambient hums, but this composition that was written in 1961 by Polish composer Krzystof Penderecki truly stretches the mind for the surreal and terrifying. Yes, it's a more popular piece of his but it's one of my favorites. Sadly, I cannot find the artist information for this piece. If anyone knows of it, could they tell me so I can properly attribute them? Thanks!

Please, turn off all the lights and turn up the stereo (or your headphones) and try not to get too scared!

Happy Halloween,
AnAmericanComposer

RIP... One of the greatest of all

Jonny describes this perfectly. It isn't terrifying, only strange.

W1ld_ Galvatron:

The Excorcist soundtrack from ‘73 jumps you every time. Most disturbing and best horror film of all time.

QubiChau:

A Pole here, it's Krzysztof, just a typo! :)

ALL OF THIS TO FINISH WITH A C MAJOR. AS SAID SCHOENBERG:
"There was still a lot to say abou C MAJOR"

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

He even himself said that he came back to a more "traditional" music. He said that he pushed too much the instruments. But it's curious. Maybe If I was him I would combine few of these lessons with his new music. Maybe he did. For example, when I heard Utrenia or Passion St. Luke.

This is what mental illness sounds like.

Gérard Begni:

Polymorphia dates from the period "avant-garde". Hearing and looking at the score makes impenetrable the reason why he switched to a rather conventional form of neoromantism. It is much more strange for me than the neoclassicism and the "returns to" of Stravinski.

11:04 This part in this particular recording was used in the soundtrack for "Ready Player One" during "The Shining" parody sequence.

Anthony Morelli:

Rest In Peace, Krzysztof Penderecki. You will always be remembered.😞😔

Marco A. Martínez:

Rip Maestro

Bob Martin:

Like putting a slasher film after watching "La La Land"!

David A:

A truly unnerving work. Almost manic. It is disturbing as much as it is prophetic. Will our global landscape ever look like this? Somehow I think it might.
