The first act of one of this composer's operas ends with brass and woodwind glissandi accompanying a woman's screams before she identifies herself to Father BarrÃ© in a man's voice. In that opera by this composer, an electric guitar accompanies the chemist Adam and Mannoury as they plot against Grandier. One of his choral works depicts the mocking of Christ in the movement "Et viri, qui tenebant illum," frequently quotes the BACH motif, and includes an a capella Stabat Mater for three mixed choirs. Besides composing the opera The Devils of Loudun, he wrote many pieces featuring dense tone clusters, including one which requires performers to bow between the bridge and the tailpiece and play the highest and lowest possible pitches. He first gained prominence with a piece scored for fifty-two strings dedicated to people who were killed by an atomic bomb. For 10 points, name this Polish composer of the St. Luke's Passion and Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima.
