Description:
Composition was written in 2008 on a commission from the University of Chicago for the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Olivier Messiaen's birth. This tree movement work attempts to refer to Messiaen's work, in particular to the beautiful sonorities of the Quatour pour la fin du temps. From ancient time the rainbow has been considered a symbol of reconciliation of man with God, literally, associated with a colourful spectrum of lights. In this work this colorful spectrum is audible in a multitude of sonorities and timbres which are gradually and continouously changing, similary to the spectral development of the colours in a rainbow.
