Des Canyons aux Etoiles... (From the Canyons to the Stars...) is a large twelve-movement work by Olivier Messiaen scored for four soloists and orchestra.
The sixth movement, Appel Interstellaire, is a demanding movement for solo horn. It was originally composed for an entirely different purpose - in March 1971, the young French composer Jean-Pierre Gu''zec died, and his composer friends contributed a collection of short pieces for solo instruments in his memory. For that collection, Messiaen wrote a brief movement for solo horn. He liked the piece well enough that when he began work on Des Canyons aux Etoiles..., he adapted it for inclusion in the larger piece.
The title translates as "Interstellar call", as if this music were a horn call that reaches across the vast span of outer space. The music is extraordinarily difficult for the performer, who must master a range of techniques: flutter-tonguing, closed notes, glissandos and faintly-sounded oscillations produced with the keys ha
