Quartet For The End Of Time: I saw an angel full of strength coming down from the heavens, clothed in a cloud, a rainbow on his head. His face was like the sun, his feet like pillars of fire. He laid his right foot on the sea, and his left foot on the earth, and while standing erect on the sea and on the earth, he raised his hand towards the heavens and swore by he who dwelled for centuries and centuries, saying: There will be no more time, but on the day of the trumpet of the seventh angel, God's mystery will be consumed. Improvisations: Directed by George's Bessonnet and performed at the Paris-Trinity Church.
