Richard Lainhart Performing ‘Oraison’
Richard Lainhart performing a piece called Oraison, composed by Olivier Messiaen (original) in 1937 for six Ondes Martenot. He transcribed it for a Buchla 200e synthesizer and a Haken Continuum Fingerboard controller.
From the time I first touched the Haken Continuum, I’d wanted to use it to play a composition by Olivier Messiaen called “Oraison”. I first heard “Oraison” years ago as a student of electronic music, and had fallen in love with its simple, beautiful harmonies and profound sense of mystery.
