Tiefer und Tiefer (Deeper and Deeper)

Composer: GETTY, Gordon
  • “Tiefer und Tiefer” comes from Getty’s suite Traditional Pieces.
  • Versions also exist for piano, chamber ensemble, or orchestra.

“ ‘Tiefer und Tiefer’ means deeper and deeper. It changes key after every six measures, but is strictly diatonic in between.”

Getty, on “Tiefer und Tiefer”1

“A beauty is Tiefer und Tiefer for strings. What a splendid intense sounding simplicity…“

Review by Hans Visser, Gooi en Eemlander, 20102
