| ||
| ||
| Note: | |
La Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ is a magnificent choral and orchestral work inspired by Messiaen’s religious faith, and particularly by the theological significance of Christ’s Transfiguration. Along with its large chorus and orchestra, Messiaen also uses seven instrumental soloists to explore every aspect of his subject, including many passages where birdsong is woven into the musical fabric. Ending with a triumphant chorale, this resplendent score is the composer’s grandest work for the concert hall. |
