Abbey Presbyterian Church

<h4>Messiaen: <em><em>Quartet for the End of Time</em></em></h4><h4>Mia Cooper – violin</h4><h4>Macdara Ó Seireadáin – clarinet</h4><h4>Aoife Burke – cello</h4><h4>Fiachra Garvey – piano</h4><p><strong><strong>Programme:</strong></strong></p><p>Messiaen: <em><em>Quartet for the End of Time</em></em></p><p>In a prisoner-of-war camp during the early days of World War II, French composer Olivier Messiaen created what would become one of the seminal chamber music masterpieces of the 20th Century: <em><em>Quatuor pour la fin du temps</em></em> (<em><em>Quartet for the End of Time</em></em>). Written for the instruments and players available to him (clarinet, violin, cello and piano), this extraordinary work unfolds over forty minutes and takes the listener from desolate pain and whirling fury to a vision of eternity in passages of ethereal calm. Rooted in his deeply Christian faith, with each movement relating to the apocalyptic Book of Revelation and many sections drawing on Messiaen’s life-long fascination with bird song, <em><em>Quartet for the End of Time</em></em> is a tour-de-force in which nature and spirituality are joined.</p>
