I composed these 40 piano pieces during the 2020 Lent period: one piece every day. During this period, the long lockdown due to the corona virus also started. Everyone stayed at home, you didn’t hear any cars anymore, but you did hear the birds singing again. The silence became tangible, deep and penetrating. These silent piano pieces gave me support during this period. In one of the pieces I also commemorate a lovely uncle who died of Covid-19. The 40 pieces are issued in 4 bundles of 10 pieces each.

A few flavoursome introductory bars carry the listener off to a temple garden in Manchuria in North-eastern China. Mysterious incantations of the priests in the temple and the scent of incense set the scene, while the melody tells of two lovers. A Manchurian wedding procession passes by outside. In the street the coolies are becoming restless. Within the temple, all is calm. Again we hear the incantations of the priest before the lovers’ theme is heard in birdsong, with short quotes from the temple theme and coolie theme to end the piece.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MSDe sfeervolle inleidende maten van dit werk nemen de luisteraar mee naar een tempelhof in Mantsjoerije, in het noordoosten van China. Mysterieuze bezweringen van de priesters in de tempel en de geur van wierook vormen het decor, terwijl de melodie het verhaal van twee geliefden vertelt. Een Mantsoerijse bruiloftsstoet komt buiten langs. Op straat worden de koelies onrustig. In de tempel heerst een kalme sfeer. Opnieuw horen we de bezweringen van de priesters voordat het thema van de geliefden te horen is in vogelzang, met korte citaten uit het tempel- en het koeliethema ter afsluiting van de compositie.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MSAlbert Ketèlby entführt schon in den ersten Takten seines Werkes den Zuhörer in einen Tempelgarten in der Mandschurei im Nordosten Chinas. Geheimnisvolle Beschwörungen der Priester im Tempel, eine vorüber ziehende mandschurische Hochzeitsprozession und Unruhen unter den Kulis, die von einem Tempelgong beendet werden, kreieren eine exotische Szenerie, in der die Melodie die Geschichte zweier Liebender erzählt.Chorstimmen separat erhältlich: 1883-12-050 MSDès les premières mesures de l’introduction, Albert Ketèlby emporte l’auditeur dans le jardin d’un temple mandchou, dans le nord-est de la Chine. Les incantations mystérieuses des prêtres et le parfum de l’encens forment une toile de fond d’où se détache une mélodie qui parle de deux amants. Dehors passe un cortège nuptial. Dans la rue, les coolies s’affairent tandis que, dans le temple, le calme règne. C’est ainsi que se raconte l’histoire des heureux élus.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MSUn’introduzione di alcune battute ci accompagna nel giardino di un tempio in Manciuria, nel nord est della Cina. I segreti dei monaci e il profumo penetrante dell’incenso fanno da sottofondo ad una melodia che racconta di due amanti. All’esterno sfila un corteo nuziale. Un viaggio musicale in questa, a noi poco conosciuta, regione della Cina.Vocal score available separately: 1883-12-050 MS.

Saint Francis of Assisi is an opera in 3 acts by Olivier Messiaen. This first volume is focused on the Act 1 ? 1. La croix, 2. Les laudes, 3. Le baiser au lepreux. It depicts the moments when Saint Francis explains what is the Perfect Joy according to the love of the Christ, his request to God to meet a leper and to be able to love him, and, finally, his meeting with a leper, assisted by an Angel. The leper is cured from this meeting. Based on the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, this opera is set in Italy and is composed as per below: Act I: 1. La croix 2. Les laudes 3. Le baiser au lepreux Act II 4. L?ange voyageur 5. L?ange musicien 6. Le preche aux oiseaux Act II 7. Les stigmates 8. La mort et la nouvelle vie This opera was played at the Paris Opera in 1983. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about Ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony with limited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong, including the 'Bird Catalogue' in 7 volumes and the 'Treatise on rhythm, colour and ornithology' in 7 volumes..

Being a fascinatingly unique composer, Olivier Messiaen pushed the conventions of composing to its very limits. The composer's music remains ever-popular and his Treaty of Rhythm, Colour and Ornithology provides the key and necessary knowledge in to the study of his delightful music. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was admitted to the Paris Conservatoire at the mere age of 11, where he won many prizes. As a passionate ornithologist, as well as organist and composer, many of Messiaen's works depict birdsong. His music is rhythmically complex, harmonically unique and melodically distinct, often using modes of limited transposition. It is for these reasons that the composer compiled his Treaty. The fifth volume contains text with musical examples, describing the unique use of birdsong in his music, as well as an analysis of his Japanese Sketches for Piano and Orchestra. For all fans of Messiaen, Treaty of Rhythm, Colour and Ornithology is essential to the understanding of the composer's much loved music..
