A simple homage to the Hungarian composer, Gyorgy Ligeti. His tone-clustered compositions awoke many of us to the power of clustered sound. This is the kind of passage one writes in a composition class when learning the style of a composer (the dreaded assignment: "Write a fugue in the style of Bach"...). I used simple choir and strings, processed for shimmer and menace. Note that Ligeti composed in other styles as well, and that others had used the cluster before him; but he used them so spectacularly---stretching the barriers of sound-music as only a few had done---he became associated with the technique forever.

  Another good one - I love Ligeti's work but as a layman so to speak and did not know about the cluster thing so thanks for the sound and the info - Im away to find out more.
