How was it Shrunk?

I heard this on the radio for the first time on Sunday - one of those 'stopped in your tracks' moments. Knut Nystedt's Immortal Bach. A piece for three antiphonal choirs which starts with the choral Komm, süßer Tod, and then is developed as the harmony parts are slowly expanded to reveal shimmering inner resonances.

Stunning. Beautiful.
