Product Description

The first time I used a Fender Rhodes in my music was a desperate maneuver I had to make when the harp part for my "Sonata for Flute, Viola and Harp" was deemed "unplayable." I immediately thought maybe the Fender Rhodes would be a decent substitute. It was, and the subsequent recording of the new "trio" was actually quite nice.

I just finished a new song cycle of a poem by Percy B. Shelley, translated into Italian by Roberto Ascoli, and was looking for an instrumental work to do next. How about a solo piano work, but using the Fender Rhodes instead? Yes indeed! And then I came upon by chance on YouTube Olivier Messiaen's "Vingt Regards Sur L'Enfant-Jésus." That is it ...

For my work I will use the same titles as found in Messiaen's magnum opus, but have decided against a two-hour work and have thus chosen only the movements with the word "regard" in its title. And then I will just do my own thing with stolen ideas from those thirteen movements.

I. Regard du Père ... Extrêmement lent
II. Regard de' l'étoile ... Modéré
III. Regard de la Vierge ... Bien modéré
IV. Regard du Fils sur le Fils ... Modéré, presque vif
V. Regard de la Croix ... Bien modéré
VI. Regard des hauteurs ... vif
VII. Regard du temps ... Modéré
VIII. Regard de l'esprit de joie ... Presque vif
IX. Regard des Anges ... Lent
X. Regard des prophètes, des bergers et des Mages ... Modéré
XI. Regard du silence ... Très modéré
XII. Regard de l'Onction terrible ... Modéré
XIII. Regard de l'Eglise d'amour ... Presque lent

NB: Messiaen's musical language in this work can be rather harsh and dissonant. Deep inside his chaotic sound world I managed to come up with melodic and musical ideas that are sweet and contemplative. Enjoy!
