On Alternate Blogs, Not Writing and Olivier Messiaen

Hey all!

It's been a while, hasn't it? I've been busy lately, what with exams and such, but you know there's always going to be my soul. It's got everything I need to write in it, so you know when you read the Raccoon's blog, you're getting quality stuff, every time.

That said, I've also been writing for my school's blog, so I have been the butt of many a joke, however it's quite interesting to see different people's take on school events. I'm thinking of turning it into a photo blog... Perhaps it will work, perhaps not.

Olivier Messiaen... Composer of the 20th century. His stuff is absolutely amazing. I've started playing some of his pieces, notably Le banquet céleste [The Celestial Banquet], a very slow and harmonically interesting piece, L'Ascension [The Ascension], a series of four movements built around the Ascension of Christ, and Apparition de l'église éternelle [A vision of the eternal church], another slow but intensely moving piece designed to be a glimpse into heaven. And it definitely sounds like it. Messiaen. What a great guy.

Anyway, find those pieces, and keep wandering!
