"The Healer" and Olivier Messiaen's "Louange" - live

Susan Alcorn · From: Baltimore, MD, USA

For the few who might find this of interest . . .

This is a video from a solo performance at the Silent Barn in Brooklyn, NY. I remember it was so cold in there, I thought about wearing my winter coat while I played. In this video is one of my compositions, "The Healer"; and at 4:00 I play Olivier Messiaen's "Louange Ã l'Ã‰ternitÃ© de JÃ©sus" (Praise to the eternity of Jesus) which was written as part of his Quartet for the End of Time while he was in a German prisoner of war camp. The piece was first performed inside the camp by a quartet of French prisoners.

The Louange was written for cello and piano - this is my transcription (note for note) for the pedal steel guitar. I hope you enjoy the music.
