In Memoriam Messiaen

Just thought I'd enjoy this beautiful piece again. It has the timeless quality of the great musician who inspired it.

What a deeply moving tribute. As we survey the endless splendors of the firmament, our souls are caressed by calm, majestic sonorities of bells, brass, and piano. We are soaring skyward toward that place of perfect harmony, beyond the clouds, beyond the ear, into the very heart of the mystery of consciousness, to the celestial House of Messaien.

Dear VP Patterson,

There's 30 bells in total = 7 + 8 + 7 + 8

Patterson, I dig it! The movement between tonalities moved me; I could feel great tension and release. I love the call and response between bells and the orchestra. The smooth movement of voices in the orchestral section contrasted the disjunct piano melody, which compare to the comfort of what we know and understand, and the anxiety of the unknown. (I liked the horn @ 2:17)
