That uncertainty is trickier to create than it might seem. Bertelmann’s score balances imperious classical sound and intriguing, hard-to-place mistakes. “The only way you can create uncertainty is by making mistakes, by creating music that isn’t always exact or precise,” Bertelmann said. So for “Conclave,” Bertelmann set about building some accidents — some cracks in the Sistine Chapel, if you will — into the score.
