People Are Talking: UMS presents The Hamburg Symphony Orchestra: From the Canyons to the Stars:
should be, “whole towns and the occastional black bottomless pit.”
From the preface to the score of Des Canyons aux étoiles, Messiaen states, “Bryce Canyon is the greatest marvel of Utah. It is a gigantic amphitheater formed of red, orange and violet rocks, in fantastic shapes: castles, square turrets, rounded towers, natural windows, bridges, statues, columns, while town and the occasional black bottomless pit.
