Messiaen Centenary at Grace Cathedral, Reading Part 3 of 3

(ERRATUM: The introductory text in the clip identifies it as the second of three Grace Cathedral reading videos. In fact, it's the last of three.) On April 18, 2008, 600 people gathered at Grace Cathedral in San Francisco to celebrate the Olivier Messiaen Centenary. In this video, Paul Festa reads from his book OH MY GOD: Messiaen in the Ear of the Unbeliever, based on his Messiaen film Apparition of the Eternal Church, which has just screened. This is the last of three video clips of the reading; see paulfesta's videos for the first and second, and also for two more Grace Cathedral Messiaen Centenary videos - one showing the US West Coast premiere of the Messiaen Fantaisie, the other a few minutes of the screening itself. For more information about the book, film and author, see paulfesta.com and apparitionfilm.com.
