in a prisoner-of-war camp during the early days of world war ii, french composer olivier messiaen (1908–1992) created his chamber music masterpiece quatuor pour la fin du temps (quartet for the end of time). rooted in his deeply christian faith, it is inspired by the new testament book of revelation.
 
composer (and lipscomb alum), dr. lincoln hanks of pepperdine university, composed a companion piece, eden, inspired by the old testament book of genesis.
 
these two works will be performed together for the first time.
