...diverse array of percussion instruments, including timpani and musical saw. Though it produces the now familiar range of Penderecki sound-semi-tones and quarter tones, tone clusters, glissandi and primitive knocking noises-the orchestra plays a secondary role to the chorus, which is constantly busy humming, singing neo-Gregorian chant, screaming, laughing, muttering and yelping...
