Oh. The music program was great. We started off with Debussy's La Mer, a piece I know, but had never heard performed live. it was marvelous. But then, (then!) they played Olivier Messaien's Tanangalila-Symphonie. Jiminy Crickets. What a piece of music. Sooooo over the top. The program notes said that "tanangalila" was a sanskrit word meaning something like "life-death-movement-stillness-love-passion."

Loved it.
