NOTE: The syllabus says "Title to be announced" for this programme, but I'm almost sure it was the Messiaen programme. "Et Exspecto Resurrexion" appeared in the second half somewhere. Before the interval there was certainly some of Messiaen's birdsong-influenced music, but I can't remember any more details.
