Le Dieu cache, Messiaen by Rosemary Field published on 2020-06-08T13:49:00Z The 3rd movement of Livre du Saint Sacrement, on Westminster Cathedral organ. Musical motifs are the plainsong Alleluia for Corpus Christi, and birdsong from Ein Geddi and from Lod, near Tel Aviv. Spiritual themes are from The Imitation of Christ and from Aquinas' hymn, Adoro te devote, latens deitas. Both reflect on the veiled presence of Christ, and Aquinas echoes the prayer of the penitent thief. Genre Classical
