Programme note
Connectivity reconnects the chords of Louange à l'éternité de Jésus, the fifth movement of Messiaen's Quatuor pour la Fin du Temps, in new ways that Messiaen may have thought of but never used, or may not have thought of at all. It is one of eight minute-length pieces by eight composers - a 'Quartet for the Beginning of the Concert' - which opened the Messiaen Centenary Concert at the New Music Indaba 2008.
