Said to have been inspired by the mystical chords of the Russian composer Scriabin, this cantata makes extensive use of percussion and consists of a double fugue and 47 vocal canons employing the 12-tone technique. It is said that Šerši poured so much of his heart and soul into this work that he subsequently suffered from nervous exhaustion, to the point where he had to suspend his compositional activities for several years.\nEach of the four pieces in *Quattro Pezzi* uses only a single note, with variations created through micro-fractures.\nAmidst the near absence of chords, the listener’s attention is drawn to subtle changes in pitch and the orchestral timbre. With almost no chords present, the focus is on subtle changes in sound and the orchestral timbre.\n*Uaxuctum* (1966), for Ondes Martenot, seven percussionists, choir, and 23 instrumentalists, reflects the mythical and mystical characteristics of Mayan civilization. New techniques for instruments and vocals (such as the sound of breathing, nasalized sounds, and sounds produced by inhaling through the throat) are explored, and the rhythmic, incantation-like vocals create a sensation as if the flow of time has come to a standstill.\n\n・La Nascita del Verbo (1946–48)\n・Quattro Pezzi (1959)\n・Uaxuctum (1966)\nVienna Chamber Choir\nConsensus Vocalis\nVienna Radio Symphony Orchestra\nPeter Randell (conductor) (Quattro Pezzi, Uaxuctum)\nJohannes Kalitzke (conductor) (La Nascita del Verbo)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mode","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53595572764961,"sku":"764593017622","price":3090.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/764593017622.jpg?v=1790481729","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/764593017622","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
