SUMMARY:Messiaen's La Nativite du Seigneur
DESCRIPTION:MESSIAEN AT ST JOHN’S: Olivier Messiaen's music is thrilling\
 , seductive\, mysterious\, and sensuous in equal measure\, and his deep Ca
 tholic faith led him to attempt to express all aspects of his belief in mu
 sic. Here is a opportunity to hear this unique voice in his fantastic orga
 n cycle La Nativité du Seigneur (The Birth of the Lord). The meditation 
 is at 7.30pm on Wednesday 18 December in St John the Evangelist\, South P
 arade\, Bath\, with David Bednall on the organ and the accompanying readin
 gs for each movement will be given as well. The work covers ideas that ran
 ge from the picturesque (The Shepherds and Magi)\, the mystical (The Word)
 \, and the overwhelming descent of God to Earth in the mighty closing move
 ment. This is music for the dark atmosphere of the church rather than the 
 concert hall\, and this is an opportunity to have 80 minutes away from the
  busy outside world to contemplate the true Christmas message and to perha
 ps try this extraordinary music for the first time.
