Brian Ferneyhough: Cassandra's Dream Song [with score]

[MINORSECONDXXI]

Note how this piece uses the first A above middle C a lot.

what's up with that flat in the mirror?

[MINORSECONDXXI]

@qweuio It's a halflat. It's a microtonal accidental.

[qweuio]

@MINORSECONDXXI Oh thanks for your reply. And I just noticed the explanation at 0:07. My bad.

[MINORSECONDXXI]

@MINORSECONDXXI Oh, I meant half-flat.

words cannot describe how this piece affects me internally. Its creative brilliance is of the highest levels of human comprehension.

Well, its great reading the score... its the only piece Ive heard from Ferneyhough but I heard it a long time ago when I was barely jumping outside of romanticism, so it first made an impression on me as unlistenable and then listenable as point music and now not all that different from romantic music. So its one of my favorites now...
