Harawi: Song of Love and Death

Album by Olivier Messiaen & Lucy Shelton & John Constable

Harawi: Song of Love and Death is a song cycle for soprano and piano by the French composer Olivier Messiaen, composed in 1945. The work features spare, often chant-like vocal writing, Messiaen's modes of limited transposition and complex rhythmic patterns, exploring themes of love and death and marking a post-war step in his development towards intense harmonic colour and rhythmic experimentation in his vocal output.
