Moments Worth Listening For
The descending A-minor scale in Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten that feels like a slow-motion fall into eternity.
The sudden, sharp percussion strikes in Fratres that punctuate the hypnotic, cycling string patterns.
The way Trisagion uses silence as a structural instrument, forcing the listener to lean into the gaps between notes.
