Olivier Messiaen - Quartet for the End of Time







I have never talked about the classical stylings of music ever before; thusly, I don't really know where to begin or how to say anything. This Olivier man was a Frenchie. I know he really liked birds. One might even venture to call him an ornithologist. He notated birdsongs into orchestral pieces. He went to jail. That's where he wrote this piece I believe. There is a clarinet, violin, cello, and piano, which upon further research is highly unorthodox i/r/t quartets, but has been done before. It has a badass name. That's about it really. I like it a lot. :):):)
