Moments Worth Listening For
The transition in Drumming Part III where the glockenspiels enter, creating a high-frequency shimmering halo over the lower rhythms.
The moment in Music for Mallet Instruments where the organ chords sustain, providing a lush harmonic floor for the frantic marimbas.
The psychoacoustic effect of 'resultant patterns' where your brain begins to hear melodies that aren't actually being played.
