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

All movie references and no artistic discourse makes this a dull comment section.

RIP... One of the greatest of all

All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.

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

Nonexistent Starchild:

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.😞😔

QubiChau:

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

Bernabé García Sánchez:

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.

Ojelo Potter:

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

He killed the composition with the final sound. The pause was great

Marco A. Martínez:

Rip Maestro

Jonny brought me here

Bob Martin:

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

Ivana De Vito Bocanera:

4:15

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

Michael O'Shea McGoldrick:

If you own all the cool records in existence, you will still be able to hold this in one hand and say "singularity!" and Basil Kirchin...

Hakeem Khater:

all my senses stoped working for 12 min

Vincent O'Donnell:

I.just love it. I cried like.a.baby

Roberto Tifi:

The house is haunted (by the echo of your last goodbye)...

Felipe Campos:

great work

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.

Eduardo Marques:

The performers are the National Philharmonic Orchestra

RODRIGO ODÓN SALCEDO CISNEROS:

RIP maestro

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.
