Bergman is widely travelled in his art, both in time and space.
Modernist techniques of composition are combined with a text plucked from the distant past in Aton for baritone, speaker, choir and orchestra (1959) based on Echnaton's famous Hymn to the Sun and Sela for baritone, chorus and orchestra (1962), which is a setting of texts from the psalms.
Sela is usually said to mark the end of Bergman's dodecaphonic period, but his idiom continued to be founded on the rich use of chromaticism.
