This collection includes songs for soprano and piano that offer examples of Messiaen's extraordinary poetical and musical language. Contains the following three song cycles: Chants de terre et de ciel, Poèmes pour Mi and Trois mélodies.

Each book in this new series from Durand, Salabert & Eschig contains works taken from the original editions in the catalogue. The original engravings are reproduced, giving performers a valuable snapshot of how these key works were first published, whether in the composer's lifetime or posthumously. These must have composer collections compile several significant works into one book, resulting in great value for money with significant savings to be made in comparison to purchasing the works individually.
