Music of the Spheres (Langgaard)
''Music of the Spheres'' ((デンマーク語:Sfærernes Musik)) is a composition by Rued Langgaard, written in 1916–18 and scored for orchestra, choir, organ, a "distant" orchestra, and a soprano soloist.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rued Langgaard: ''Sfærernes Musik'' )〕
The work incorporates radical innovations, considered ahead of their time,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Sfaerernes Musik (Music of the Spheres) (1918) )〕 including some of the earliest examples of string piano (playing directly on the strings of the piano), and Langgaard's extensive use of slow moving string clusters prompted the composer György Ligeti to proclaim himself a "Langgaard-epigone" when presented with the score in the late 1960s.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.sequenza21.com/2011/11/how-per-norgard-tricked-gyorgy-ligeti-into-discovering-music-of-the-spheres-by-rued-langgaard/ )〕
==Analysis==
According to the music researcher Eric Christensen – in an analysis of works utilizing the "spatial dimension" as a fundamental concept – the space of ''Music of the Spheres'' is limited at the upper level by repeated lines of high notes on the violins and flutes, and at the lower level by timpani and deep horns. In between it is filled out with clusters and polyphonic tonal surfaces that remove the sense of time moving forward. Instead, it makes time "acutely present" by accelerating repetitive patterns. The form of the work is accumulative and concludes with a vision of "the end of all things" expressed with stark musical contrast, such as violent music followed by noisy "anti-music" (produced by cymbals and kettle-drums) juxtaposed with "heavenly" music with angel choirs and the sound of harps.〔
