"...When the notes are collected there, heaving like bullfrogs, unable to go anywhere else, the piece ends on a last bell tone.) It implies natural patterning...patterning that is not only sequential but interwoven...like ripples on the water."

Arvo Pärt,  Cantus in memoriam Benjamin Britten

I strongly agree with Ratliff's argument of linking. I do believe that every piece of music is using the instrumentals to connect a sound to a feeling. If music doesn't make you think or feel something, then what is its point at all? Ratliff's link in Arvo Part "Cantus in memoriam of Benjamin Britten" is a great example because it is very similar to natural patterning. He used patterns like water and feathers falling because the music has to end some time. It could be described as a leaf, but it would not mean the end of a natural pattern. It would mean the death of one. These comparisons are spot on in my opinion because I feel myself walking down a leaf ridden road with a pond and many natural aspects all around living harmoniously when the violins rise and fall or the cellos wean in and out of my ear or the bell ringing softly behind everything. Mozart's "Requiem Mass in D minor" holds a lot of weight itself. The opera singing over the string parts is chilling because it is so overpowering and in a minor key. It gives off a sense of foreboding, death. This is because it was Mozart's last song, and he put a lot of dark emotion into it. He is coming up on death, so he puts how he feels nearing death into music. The key only adds to the terror because the song never becomes comfortable. It is constantly scary, flat, and disheartening. This piece would be nothing without Mozart's emotions put into it, and it certainly portrays those feelings in a disheartening way.

Requiem Mass in D minor, KV 626 - Lacrimosa. Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Mozart's Requiem is his last work, written right up to his death in late 1791. It was completed by his pupil, Franz Xaver Süssmayr, and it is this version that is best known today, much due to its authenticity.
