Four Short Prayers of Saint Francis of Assisi were introduced to Poulenc by his nephew Jerome, a Franciscan monk, who asked the composer to set them to music. Poulenc found these prayers very inspirational, as he was deeply moved spiritually and at the same time intimidated by the Saint's humility.
Robert Kalwas has done a marvelous job arranging these four short works (timing is about 7-8 minutes) for a sextet or 6-part ensemble of Trombones. All parts are in bass clef. This arrangement will work nicely for moderately advanced.

L?ange musicien 6. Le preche aux oiseaux Act II 7. Les stigmates 8. La mort et la nouvelle vie This opera was first 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.
