		Micropolyphony is a type of 20th century musical texture involving the use of sustained dissonant chords that shift slowly over time.
		An example of the application of micropolyphony is Ligeti's composition Requiem for Soprano, Mezzo-Soprano, Mixed Choir, and Orchestra, a piece which became more widely known through the soundtrack to Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey.
		Many of Ligeti's piano pieces are examples of micropolyphony applied to complex "minimalist" Steve Reich and Pygmy music derived rhythmic schemes.

	Schott Music - Shop - Ligeti, György
		Very soon he developed the micropolyphony which later was to become one of the most significant features of his music.
		‘Micropolyphony’, he once described, ‘means such a dense tissue that the individual parts become inaudible and only the resulting intermingling harmonies are effective as a form'.
		After his intensive work in Cologne in the 1950s and the development of micropolyphony in the 1960s, Ligeti’s personal style became simpler and more transparent in the 1970s.

		Es curioso, ayer mismo publicaba lo del Up Beat y Den me comentaba, no sin razón, que si a algo se parecía ese juego flash era al Beatmania y no precisamente al Guitar Hero.
		Cuando hoy gracias a micropolyphony encuentro otro juego en flash, pero que esta ocasión si que se parece y mucho al citado Guitar Hero.
		El juego en cuestión se encuentra en la web de Tenacious D, una banda de rock americana que la verdad no conocía hasta hoy.

		That piece will be followed by the magnificent Chamber Concerto, composed in 1969-70, after he fled Hungary and eventually became an Austrian citizen.
		Micropolyphony is when polyphonic textures are so thickly woven that single voices become indistinguishable, creating dense webs of sound.
		His classics in this otherworldly style are Lux Aeterna and Atmosphères, both used on the sound track of Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey.

		György Ligeti, a major composer whose music became familiar to millions through the film 2001: A Space Odyssey, died today in Vienna, his publisher announced on its web site.
		In 1961, he found international recognition for Atmosphères, a large-scale work consisting of slowly evolving, massive chords, or "sound masses." He called the technique micropolyphony.
		Parts of Atmosphères, Requiem, and Lux aeterna appeared on the soundtrack for 2001, a 1967 film by Stanley Kubrick that became a cultural icon.

		A hands-on introduction to twentieth-century music, with a particular focus on harmony.
		We will develop a set of theoretical concepts that help make sense of the proliferation of disparate twentieth-century musical styles, including: atonality, "bitonality", "modality", "micropolyphony", "minimalism", and "spectralism".
		We will examine the works of composers such as Debussy, Schoenberg, Stravinsky, Messiaen, Shostakovich, Ligeti, Reich, Adams, Murail, as well as works of popular music.

	Composer in general - Review - Gyorgy Ligeti - musical chameleon
		When this eventually emerged he called it micropolyphony.
		It is a type of heterophony, related to the prolation canons of Ockeghem, which has lots of parts playing exactly the same sequence of notes - usually within a very tight range - in different timescales, so that the result is a chromaticcluster which seems to shimmer and gradually change timbre.
		My personal favourite is the Chamber Concerto, which contrasts the blurred, bee-hive, textures of micropolyphony with some very sharp, punctuated ideas.

		His Poème symphonique was written for 100 metronomes which run down at different speeds, creating this complex "micropolyphony"
		Lux aeterna, Atmosphères and Requiem reached a mass audience when extracts were used in the soundtrack for Stanley Kubrick's film 2001: A Space Odyssey

		Microcast takes its name from a handy local weather forecast service.
		It features shifting clouds of micropolyphony, some updated versions of baroque imitative textures, and a lyrical violin solo.
		The flute part calls for multiphonics, so it must be played on a modern instrument amid the ensemble of early instruments.
