Programs for "Visions of the Amen" concert, a piece by Olivier Messiaen performed by students of the Conservatory of Music of Aragon.
"Amen, word of Genesis, which leads to Revelation; Amen, word of Revelation which is the consummation of Genesis.”
This phrase, by German theologian Ernst Hello, was Messiaen’s conceptual starting point for developing this suite. The piece is created around the themes of religion, the spirituality of creation, ornithology, and deep admiration for the figure of Jesus and nature.
