Subject: RE: Howard Goodall's Story of Music
I thought you would appreciate it Michael.There is nearly a tune (root and minor third interval played on the strings and repeated in the manipulated voices). I think it needs to be heard in full to get the full impact because of the modulation of the sounds - so the train siren is gradually slowed down until it becomes another kind of siren, and the voices almost grind to a halt too.He succeeds in conveying a real sense of horror.
