â??Olivier
Messiaen (1908-1992) is
known for his unique
composition style.
Incorporating complex
rhythms, harmony,
melodies and his passion
for ornithology, his
Catalogue of Birds for
Piano is no exception to
the composer's popular,
distinctive style.
Messiaen became
fascinated by birdsong
from an early age,
however, it wasn't until
the 1950s that he took
his passion to a new
level, incorporating
birdsong into all of his
compositions. Catalogue
of Birds, composed in
1958, comprises thirteen
movements, each depicting
a specific bird. The
third volume contains
movements five and six;
Tawny Owl and Woodlark.
Catalogue of Birds is
essential to all advanced
pianists seeking to
expand and vary their
repertoire.â?.
