Many Changes, Many Dreams
†
Krzysztof Penderecki's "Polymorphia" is singularly the most evocative music I have ever heard. Upon first hearing this piece (at the age of 13) I was forever altered. Truthfully, nothing ever shook me so far from the prison of mediocrity as this beautiful and dark fantasy for strings. Is there any wonder that Krzysztof Penderecki is hailed as one of the greatest composers of our time, or that he has been selected to write the official thematic music for the 2008 Beijing Olympics?

	No, Joel, I did not film this. It seems to be a student film from Spain or Italy, but I am only guessing. When looking for a decent recording online of "Polymorphia" for a friend who had never heard it, I found this film. I like the way they matched the visuals so well with the music. Call me soon.
