Stravinsky's longest serial score, Threni sets passages from the Lamentations of Jeremiah. An unusual feature is the musical treatment of the Hebrew letters offsetting the different verses. "The effect," writes Eric Walter White, "is like that of a series of illuminated initials embellishing a manuscript; and the special cadential qualities of these brief harmonic glosses give them a curious kind of nimbus."
