Trois Mélodies / Harawi

Album by Olivier Messiaen & Hetna Regitze Bruun & Kristoffer Hyldig

Trois Mélodies / Harawi is a pairing of two song cycles by French composer Olivier Messiaen, composed in 1930 and 1945 respectively. The works combine Messiaen's modernist harmonic language, bird-inspired motifs and rhythmic complexity in a vocal-and-piano setting, with Harawi marking a move towards larger, more dramatic song-cycles that shaped his mid-career output.
