Something must be wrong with me. I LOVE IT.

I wrote a final paper on Penderecki and this piece my senior year in college. I was extremely fortunate to be able to find a copy of the score at my university's library. As someone who was not overly familiar with avant-garde music, this score totally blew my mind.

This piece of music (and other pieces such as Polymorph and Dream of Jacob) is one of the most terrifying pieces of music I've ever had the pleasure to hear. the part at 2:50 to 4:45 is perhaps the most frightening part. Its filled with such an empty feeling of space. The high sustain notes contrasting with the lower sustain notes give this dark atmosphere that slowly drives you into madness or some other form of discomfort. It's an amazing contrast from the chaos ridden introduction. Now, to be honest he never intended (at least from my knowledge) for his pieces to be terrifying, but by Odin did he succeed.

One really cool thing about this composer is that he “heard colors” so when he heard a sound he recognized it as a color. So his scores were actually very colorful.

Today Feb 24, 2022 was a day I, and the world, need to hear this piece again. War leaves a wake of victims. My condolences to the people of Ukraine.

Amazing piece that captures the horror of what happened in Hiroshima. The time it was composed is interesting too as the Cuban Missile Crisis happened a few years later - nuclear warfare was still a very real threat at the time it was written, and this could have been at least part of the inspiration to write this and dedicate it to the victims of Hiroshima.

It's almost like the score is a piece of art in itself. And you did a wonderful job with animation. It certainly helped me appreciate this music much more.

I have known this piece for over 40 years. I think I have every version available on CD and one rare version on vinyl. And I once had the conductor's score as well. I have still yet to see this performed live in a concert hall in the SF Bay Area. I hope some group performs it here and I'll be able to see it in person in my lifetime.

This is the most visceral piece of music I've ever heard. I've actually avoided listening to it because of how traumatising it is. Despite that, it's the reason I love Penderecki: the raw viscerality of his music. No one else I've heard can match it. Rest in peace, Penderecki. Your music was and still is incredible.

The purpose of art is to comfort the disturbed and to disturb the comfortable. - Banksy

Wow, these are very dramatic animated scores! This is awesome, thanks for this gerubach!

I have always found this piece to be interesting, and exhausting. I'm grateful I was not one of the people who had to read the score. It's surprising how much more traditional he became in his later years, and some of that music is really beautiful. Kudos for the animation. Great job!

The most incredible, exciting and insightful animated score I've seen yet! Thank you!!

Rest In Peace Maestro Krzysztof Penderecki (1933-2020)

*One of the great masterpieces of 20th century avant garde music.* *Fun Fact: Penderecki's original title for this piece was "8 :37". Upon hearing his own piece performed the first time, Penderecki renamed it to its rather more well known and infamous title we know and love.*

Thank you for the score-I've always wondered how some of the sounds are produced and this showed me. I love this piece and would love to use it in a film about the 2 attacks on Japan. The first few seconds of this sound like a sustained scream by hundreds of people, as if frozen in time just before detonation. "As if a thousand voices suddenly cried out in terror, or were suddenly silenced. I feel as if something terrible has happened."

this is absolutely terrifying, in a good way.
