• Composer: Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992)
• Performer(s): Olivier Latry
• Performed on the Cavaille-coll organ of the Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris, France.
• Track 6 of CD 4 of "Messiaen: Complete Organ Works", released in 2002 on Deutsche Grammophon, [www.deutschegrammophon.com www.deutschegrammophon.com], catalogue number 471480
• Title of excerpt: Opening of Transports de joie d'une âme devant la gloire du Christ qui est la sienne from L'Ascension (organ version)
• Encoding: 40 seconds, OGG Vorbis quality setting 1 (low).

This is a sound sample from a commercial recording. Its inclusion here is claimed as fair use because:

• it illustrates an educational article that includes a historical and critical examination of the excerpt;
• it is a sample of about 30 seconds from a much longer recording, and could not be used as a substitute for the original commercial recording; and
• it is not replaceable with an uncopyrighted or freely copyrighted sample of comparable educational value.

I believe that this use of the excerpt is in good faith, and that its inclusion enhances rather than reduces the commercial value of the recording from which it was drawn; however, if the owner of the copyright wishes to challenge my use, I will be happy to remove it promptly, with apology.
