- It is Stravinsky's first and longest completely dodecaphonic work, but is not often performed.
- It has been called "austere" but also a "culminating point" in his career, "important both spiritually and stylistically" and "the most ambitious and structurally the most complex" of all his religious compositions, and even "among Stravinsky's greatest works".
- Stravinsky composed Threni in 1957–58 for the Venice Biennale, and it was first performed there in September 1958.
