Le baiser au lepreux Act II 4. L?ange voyageur 5. L?ange musicien 6. Le preche aux oiseaux Act II 7. Les stigmates 8. La mort et la nouvelle vie This opera was played at the Paris Opera in 1983. 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..

In the space of a few months, in the autumn and winter of 1789, Mozart filled more than 650 pages of a score that shows practically no signs of mental or physical exertion. The result was one of his most profound operas, Cosi fan tutte , which has held listeners spellbound with its blend of bitterness and comedy to the present day.Our easy-to-play vocal score is based on the volume edited by Faye Ferguson and Wolfgang Rehm for theNew Mozart Edition(NMA II/5/18) and on the latest scholarly findings from the critical commentary published by Henning Bey and Faye Ferguson in 2003.Due to numerous customer requests, Barenreiter will be successively offering vocal scores to major Mozart operas in hardback editions again. Sturdier hardcover editions of important repertoire works are more likely to survive the rigours of a musicians's life.
