Michael Kieran Harvey, who has recorded Messiaen's complete work (MD 3299), has composed Catalogue des Errances Bibliques ("Catalogue of Biblical Errancy"), which comprises twenty-five pieces with inspiration drawn from the 850 pages of C. Dennis McKinsey's monumental 'Encyclopedia of Biblical Errancy'. Interspersed with readings by poet Arjun von Caemmerer, Catalogue des Errances Bibliques is scored for a similarly epic eight keyboards and four percussionists, and treats its subject matter "in the spirit of the musical 'The Book of Mormon' (Parker/Lopez/Stone, 2011)".
