3: Combat de la Mort et de la
Vie
Antony Pitts follows
Messiaen's struggle to let "melody reign supreme'. Between the revolution of Mode de valeurs et d'intensités and the extravagant celebration of his opera St Francis of Assisi, angels, saints and birds sing and dance, and Cetti's warbler begins a season of birdsong from Catalogue d'Oiseaux.
