Turangalîla Symphony

Turangalîla-Symphonie is a large-scale symphony by French composer Olivier Messiaen, completed in 1948. The work combines expansive orchestral forces, rhythmic complexity, modal harmonies and distinctive timbral effects, including prominent piano and ondes Martenot parts, and represents a central example of Messiaen's post-war compositional style and of mid-20th-century French orchestral modernism.
