Music Examples

Reverberation

Example 1: mm. 1-10 (focus on C# and neighboring tones C/D).

Example 2: mm. 76-90 (harmonies constructed in fourths/fifths, and beginning of concluding section showing return to opening motives with harmonics).

 

Sumuk

Example 1: mm. 1-23 (emphasis on Bb with long notes and different shades of vibrato, conflict between Bb-B-C, and decelerating pitch repetitions).

Example 2: mm. 44-66 (introduction of heavily chromatic figures).

 

Bardo

Example 1: mm. 19-33 (chromatic figures in woodwinds over dissonant string harmonies, leading to accelerating pitch repetitions on another dissonant sonority).

Example 2: mm. 77-85 (climax based on melodic motive C-C#-E-Eb-F).
