I happen to be present at the memorial service held for Olivier Messiaen at
St. John the Divine in Manhattan shortly after his death a few years ago.
His wife gave a little talk, and some of his best works were performed,
especially a few of his wonderful pieces on the great organ. Man, that was a
religious experience. Messiaen's music isn't done justice on recordings;
it's very different when heard live in a cathedral. Very organic and
all-encompassing.

Any of you organ fans ever apply a keyboard CV to a voltage-controlled
panner to try to imitate the spatial placement of organ pipes? Sort of an
electronic _werkprinzip_?
