Paul Hertz: Polymetric Phrygian Plainchant (2009)
Paul’s notes:
“Polymetric Phrygian Plainchant is based on a Phrygian mode version of the Dies Irae. It was composed and recorded entirely in Sibelius 5, using synthesized woodwind instruments. The altered Dies Irae melody is successively heard at five different tempos, in the ratio 2:3:5:7:11. This piece dates from July 2009 and was first posted on ImprovFriday.“
