What is messiaen harawi?

Messiaen's Harawi is a song cycle for solo voice and piano, composed in 1945. It is influenced by the composer's travels to Peru and incorporates elements of Peruvian culture and mythology. The cycle comprises 12 mystical love songs in which the protagonist, a bird, sings to a lover, a woman who is often associated with the goddess Isis. The music is characterized by Messiaen's use of rich harmonic language, rhythmic complexity, and unconventional scales and modes. The title, "Harawi," is a word of Quechua origin that refers to an ancient Inca genre of song and poetry that was typically sung at religious ceremonies.
