Album Notes & Community Reviews

In a staggering display of modern choral complexity, the acclaimed Polish composer utilized massive vocal ensembles and unconventional orchestration to interpret Eastern Orthodox liturgical themes. The heavily dissonant, avant-garde vocal techniques and terrifyingly dense clusters of sound established the work as a chilling masterpiece of twentieth-century sonorism.
