The Glorious Bodies, by Olivier Messiaen is a composition that exhibits his Roman Catholic faith. Written for organ in 1939, it is a mix between Indian music and Gregorian Plainsong. This first volume includes the first three pieces of the whole composition: 1. Subtilite des Corps Glorieux, 2. Les eaux de la Grace and 3. L'ange aux parfums. This piece is divided in 7 sections: 1. Subtilite des Corps Glorieux 2. Les eaux de la Grace 3. L'ange aux parfums 4. Combat de Mort et de la Vie 5. Force et agilite des Corps Glorieux 6. Joie et clarte des Corps Glorieux 7. Le Mystere de la Sainte-Trinite. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionate about ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony with limited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms. He composed many works related to ornithology and birdsong, including the Bird Catalogue in 7 volumes and the Treatise on Rhythm, Colour and Ornithology in 7 volumes.

Glorious Hill may be performed by a male choir.Text by Pico della Mirandola (1463-1497) from De Hominis Dignitate.Glorious Hill was commissioned by the Hilliard Ensemble and first performed by them at its summer Festival of Voices in Lewes, Sussex, in August 1988. It was the first piece I wrote for the ensemble and I focused on the singers' unique ability to move with ease from early music to tonal music of the present day. There were techniques which I asked for which I hardly needed to notate - the staggered breathing of the two tenors to supply a continuous unbroken held note for example - and the piece moves between passages for solo voices and sections of highly chromatic homophony, almost as if the music were switching between the 12th century of Perotin and the 16th century of Gesualdo. Each of the four voices is given its own solo passage, sometimes accompanied, sometimes quietly supported by the other voices.The title, Glorious Hill comes from the name of the small-town Mississippi setting of Tennessee Williams' Summer and Smoke. I wrote the music for the 1987 production of this play at the Leicester Haymarket Theatre, the first time I had written any incidental music for the stage. Williams makes very specific demands in terms of music and there is one particularly powerful scene, the penultimate one, throughout which music and atmospheric sound effects are continuous. The principle character Alma argues passionately about the vital importance of human choice with the man to whom she has, too late, admitted her love. I watched this section every night throughout the 4 week run of the play watching the different ways in which the actress, Frances Barber, played the scene. There is a powerful emotional and philosophical connection between the imagery of this scene and a passage from the Renaissance philosopher Pico della Mirandola's Oration on the Dignity of Man which forms the text of Glorious Hill. This passage has been described as one of the few passages in Renaissance philosophy to treat human freedom in a modern way. The text, which is sung in Latin, is addressed by God to Adam before the fall from grace.Gavin Bryars.

From unison to full 4-part harmony, the gradual amassing of forces adds interest and passion to this essential work. The final statement of the chant brings the piece to a glorious conclusion. Much of the piece is a cappella, but piano reductions and closed-score writing make it easy to double the voices for support, if needed.

Of the Glorious Body Telling is one of several settings by Jiri Ropek of St. Thomas Aquinas' famous communion hymn, Pange lingua gloriosi. This communion anthem represents the best in practical church music: warm, accessible hormonies, memorable melody, technically within the reach of virtually any choir and musically filfilling at the highest level. Unfortunately Ropek did not date these manuscripts, so it is uncertain exactly when they were composed. Duration 3:00.

Glorioso was commissioned by, and is dedicated to, the ‘Siena Wind Orchestra’. The work opens after a short aleatoric intro, with an energetic and brassy ‘one tone fanfare’. The note F acts as an omnipresent note, and is also used as a bridge into the second, rather static movement. A noble sounding theme leads to an impressive climax, shortly followed by the spectacular and virtuoso finale, which is built on the musical elements that have been heard before. Stylistically, this sparkling finale is clearly influenced by Dmitri Shostakovich, hence the use of the famous signature used by the Russian Master: C D E flat B (or C flat). A glorious finish to a special workthat highlights various facets of the modern concert band. Glorioso werd geschreven in opdracht van en is opgedragen aan het Japanse Siena Wind Orchestra. Het werk opent na een korte aleatorische intro met een energieke ‘one tone fanfare’, waarin voornamelijk het koper aan zet is. De noot F, als een pedaaltoon alomtegenwoordig, blijft nog even klinken in het aansluitende langzame deel. Na een nobel thema volgt de spectaculaire en virtuoze finale, die voortbouwt op de muzikale componenten die al eerder te horen waren. Stilistisch is in deze wervelende finale onmiskenbaar de invloed van Dmitri Sjostakovitsj aanwezig, het hoofdmotief is tot C D Eb B (of Cb) getransformeerd: het anagram dat de Russische meester vaak als muzikalehandtekening heeft gebruikt. Een glorieus slot aan een bijzonder werk dat diverse facetten van het moderne harmonieorkest aan bod laat komen. Glorioso wurde vom Siena Wind Orchestra in Auftrag gegeben und ist diesem gewidmet. Das Werk beginnt nach einer kurzen, aleatorischen Einleitung mit einer schwungvollen Blechbläser-Fanfare auf nur einem Ton. Dabei ist der Ton F allgegenwärtig und leitet in den langsamen, eher statischen Satz über. Nachdem das nobel klingende Thema zu einem beeindruckenden Höhepunkt geführt hat, setzt sich das fantastische und virtuose Finale aus den zuvor erklungenen Elementen zusammen. Stilistisch ist dieses schwungvolle Finale deutlich von Dmitri Schostakowitsch beeinflusst, daher wird die berühmte musikalische Unterschrift des russischen Meisters verwendet, die dieser oftbenutzte: C D Es H (oder Ces). Ein eindrucksvolles Ende eines besonderen Werkes, das verschiedene Facetten des modernen Blasorchesters hervorhebt. Glorioso est une commande du, et dédicacée au ‘Siena Wind Orchestra’. L’œuvre commence après une courte introduction aléatoire qui comprend une fanfare énergique et cuivrée « sur une note », puisque la note fa est omniprésente et est utilisée comme pont dans le deuxième mouvement plutôt statique. Un thème noble mène vers une apogée impressionnante et le final spectaculaire et virtuose se compose d’éléments musicaux entendus plus tôt. Le style de ce final bouillonnant est évidemment influencé par Dmitri Chostakovitch, ce qui explique l’usage de sa célèbre signature fréquemment utilisée : do ré mi bémol si (ou do bémol). Une fin glorieuse d’uneœuvre spéciale qui met en scène les nombreuses facettes d’un orchestre d’harmonie moderne. Glorioso è stato commissionatodalla Siena Wind Orchestra, ed è a loro dedicato. Il lavoro si apre dopo una breve introduzione aleatoria, con una fanfara energica e dai suoni simili agli ottoni. La nota Fa agisce come una nota onnipresente, ed è anche usata come un ponte nel secondo movimento piuttosto statico. Un tema sonoro nobile porta ad un climax impressionante, seguito a breve distanza dal finale spettacolare e virtuoso, che è costruito sugli elementi musicali che sono stati ascoltati precedentemente. Stilisticamente, questo frizzante finale è chiaramente influenzato da Dmitri Shostakovich, da qui l'uso della famosa firma usata dal Maestro russo: Do Re Mib Si (oDob). Un finale glorioso per un'opera speciale che mette in risalto varie sfaccettature della banda moderna.
