Video Flagged Dead

Penderecki -"Threnody to the Victims of Hiroshima"

1 decade 5 years 6 months 3 weeks ago

Written in 1960 by Polish composer Krzysztof Penderecki, this piece will probably sound familiar to many of you after a few moments. Even though it is dedicated to the victims of the 1945 Hiroshima nuclear bombing, the piece has become more closely associated with horror film soundtracks. It is frightening, and makes you feel like you might be going insane. A very memorable piece.
