In medieval music, the term discanto serves to differentiate the counterpoint that uses the opposite movement to distinguish it from the parallel organum, in which the flat edge and the counterpoint move in parallel. The work refers very freely to this medieval technique, carried into a personal language. The medieval sequence of “Dies Irae” also hints a kind of wink to that period of great importance in the formation of music of Western tradition.
