Name that piece! The game

[Opus106]

Yep! That was easy. Can hardly be mistaken for some other piece...

... or a construction site from afar.

... or a construction site from afar.

Featuring sound recordings of Big Ben and the Wells clock (one of the oldest surviving clocks, continuously running since 1392) from London's Science Museum, Chronometer was one of the most complex electronic music endeavours of all time. Four sets of 100 sequences were created from these samples using computer analysis, and Birtwistle prepared a score laying out the tensions, mood and form of the piece, which was then reinterpreted by the Musys computer programme to send instructions to a host of tape recorders to start, stop, filter, amplify or distort the sounds accordingly

can be downloaded from here - LP rip, flac(wait 10 sec, then click link)

Thanks.

[Parsifal]

Thanks, I collect Birtwistle, but I did not have that piece! 

[Parsifal]

Since I don't read Russian, I can't figure out how to download. I wait 10 sec and click the link under the clock icon, to the right? I never does anything when I try it. can you help?

The download link to the file reads "Birtwistle_-_Chronometer.flac". During the time you wait, it will appear as plain text.

Got it, thanks. I had script disabled before.
Birtwistle is a great choice for 'the game'

Also if anyone is interested, you can download the full Henze piece I posted earlier at the Avant Garde Project.

Is there another posted? If there isn't one when I return tomorrow, I'll post one. But don't wait - post away if someone has a good one. If I missed it, please indicate which post (thanks!).

Here is one, please identify the piece if possible, the composer should be easy

[DavidW]

Cool, I feel like I've heard the piece before... drats!

Should be, but not for me... Beautiful music, though! I detect Wagner's influence.

Oops, sorry! Well I'm glad someone else took the initiative.

Sounds like Delius.

[Parsifal]

So far you guys are correct on the Wagner influence, but wrong on Delius 

[DavidW]

Elgar maybe?

[Parsifal]

Elgar maybe?

No, I like Elgar too though

Here is a clue: this composer had something in common with Anton Bruckner - besides being a composer of course

Franck!!

[Parsifal]

Franck!!

Yes, Cesar Franck

A clue to the title: rarely heard work for chorus and orchestra

Ok I'll tell you, gotta go for a while: it's PSYCHE, this recording
