Olivier Messiaen

Des Canyons Aux Etoiles Vol. 1

Immerse yourself in the monumental sonic world of Olivier Messiaen's masterpiece: 'Des Canyons Aux Étoiles... Vol. 1 (Movements I–V)' is a breathtaking musical journey from the majestic canyons of Utah to the distant stars. Published by the renowned Alphonse Leduc, this high-quality full score contains the first five movements of this visionary orchestral work. At its core is a virtuoso solo quartet—comprising solo piano, French horn, xylorimba, and glockenspiel—seamlessly woven into a vibrant, richly textured orchestral palette. Messiaen's unmistakable birdsong, spiritual depth, and bold harmonic language unfold with extraordinary brilliance. An indispensable score for conductors, performers, scholars, and admirers of 20th-century classical music.
