Your a fantastic teacher!

Lontano was used in "The Shining", not "2001: A Space Odyssey". Lontano is an absolute masterpiece.

@FeonaLeeJones 5 лет назад

you're right. Lux Aeterna was used in 2001

@@FeonaLeeJones As well as "Atmospheres." Good presentation by the way :)

I enjoyed this presentation. Thank you for your thoughtful analysis! I’m an ambient electric guitarist and I’m exploring micropolyphony with short musical phrases recorded on loopers and other electronics in my improvisations. I love looking “under the hood” at these outside compositional devices and you brought up a few new points for me to consider. Much appreciated! 🙏🏻

I was so deeply affected as an 8yr old in 68 by 2001 a Space Odyssey. I was both terrified and deeply moved by both the visuals and Legiti's alien uncompromising music. That film taught me that the truth about the "mysterious" is that it ultimately isn't a nice comfy little detective story replete with a happy ending and all baffling questions answered. It's at once our purpose as sentient beings and, our merciless Nemesis. This is why the Capernican model of our cosmos as well as our latest paradigm the Higher Dimensional Multiverse was/is met with such hostility by some very good scientists. Legeti with his micropolyphony best captures this most basic human reality by concocting a nearly aurally incomprehensible but clearly organized music. I love his pieces from this stage of his body of work.

i have to hold a short presentation about ligeti and micropolyphony in music class and find it very hard to find proper sources with good explanations, so this is a livesaver! thank you so much!!!

the nicette glad I could be of help 😉

Nice intro to Ligeti! The different canons can't actually be heard, though, at least we're not supposed to be able to follow the individual voices, even if they're strictly notated.

@WackSmackAttack 3 месяца назад

are there any pieces that are similar to this? up there with beethoven's late string quartets as one of the greatest pieces of music

@FeonaLeeJones 3 месяца назад

Anything with sonorities that create sound masses. Atmospheres and his Requiem follow same/similar techniques.

Good presentation! If you haven't already seen this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4AhKWofVV0E.html There is a great documentary about Ligeti. Although it's not super detailed all over it does give a really good insight into his mind. How he worked and how he got to certain conclusions. Maybe this isn't just for you but also for other people that like/love Ligeti's music.

@JobAur 3 года назад

Do you know of any other composers that use this technique?

@FeonaLeeJones 3 года назад

yes! Palestrina, Tallis, Bryd, Josquin des prez...all the great Renaissance composers!

shutter island???

@alexscott1257 2 года назад

Yup it's in there! If you check out the music credits to that movie it reads like a who's who of 20th century music.

Ligeti solos sonatas and studies for violin ... viola solo...kurtag’s signs games etc looking for an analysis

@PP-wp2bx 3 года назад

It is funny that so many people keep forget to mention that he is a Jew when they mention Ligeti's background. BTW, I'm not a Jew but just always thought it was so "funny".
