One of my all time favorite compositions of mine, Catalog of the Birds! I love it because of how much it connected me to God and his creatures during it creation and study. https://t.co/GAKmVCbdm9

This kind of audience response really warms my heart. This kind of influence is partly the reason why I make music, to better people's lives. https://t.co/41So8jEPlc

"As I get older, I find [Messiaen's] music means more and more to me. Things begin to rest a little more heavily on you. There's something about the span of a life; you need to go to the masters. They're the only ones who can encapsulate the simple things." - Rufus Wainwright
