Catalogue Note
Apparently unpublished. This is one of a number of early concert works by the celebrated composer of film scores for Laurence of Arabia, Doctor Zhivago and many others. As in those film scores, Jarre is meticulous in recording the precise timings of each section: This instrumental score is marked up for the conductor, with metrical markings, timings, rehearsal letters, in blue and red crayon and in pencil throughout ("Orchestre" 12'11" / "Choeur" 5'25 : 17'43"). The title page and list of the instrumentation record the performers' names and telephone numbers.
