Looking for Messiaen Sheet Music...

[ClarkBattle]

I am a cellist looking to transcribe the 10th movement of Messiaen's Livre du Saint Sacrament for a string quartet. I really dont want to buy the whole thing new for $100US just to get one movement. Does anyone have a copy that i can buy used or even better, can someone make me a copy of the 10th movement for a bit o' cash?

Email me at my user name at hotmail.

Thanks.

If you do this (make the arrangment) then perform it and make money out of it ... you are breaking copyright law. No arrangement can be made of Messiaen's music without permission in writting of his publisher(s).

May I suggest you to search on the Web for Olivier Messiaen's Midifile. May be you can find what you're looking for and it is legal. With the midifile you can rebuild the score.
For instance I have found in a few minutes the following song http://lsauter.neuf.fr/midi/midi/MessiaenOffrande.mid

Good luck.
