3 petites liturgies
Album by Olivier Messiaen & Maîtrise de Radio France & Orchestre de chambre de la Radiodiffusion française & Yvonne Loriod & Jeanne Loriod & Marcel Couraud
Trois petites liturgies de la Présence Divine is a vocal-instrumental composition by French composer Olivier Messiaen, composed in 1944. Scored for women's choir, piano, ondes Martenot and a small orchestra, it blends Messiaen's modes of limited transposition, complex rhythms and devotional themes to explore a personal liturgical vision and marks a step in his post-war expansion of orchestral colour and spiritual subject matter.
