Vortex Temporum is a composition in three parts for piano and five instruments by French composer Gérard Grisey. This edition, published by Ricordi in 2005, includes the full score and parts for the piece. 

Grisey was a leading figure in the spectral music movement, which explored the acoustic properties of sound and emphasized timbre and harmonic color over traditional melodic and harmonic structures. Vortex Temporum is a major work in Grisey's oeuvre, and is considered a masterpiece of the spectral music genre. 

The piece is divided into three movements, each exploring different aspects of sound and musical structure. The first movement features the piano and is characterized by a series of spiraling arpeggios that build in intensity and complexity. The second movement explores the interplay between the five instruments, with shifting textures and harmonic colors. The final movement brings all the instruments together in a complex and intricate interweaving of sound. 

This edition of Vortex Temporum by Ricordi provides a comprehensive and authoritative version of the score and parts for the piece. The score includes detailed notes on the music and the spectral music movement, as well as a critical commentary by the editor. The parts are meticulously edited and provide a valuable resource for performers and scholars.

Gérard Grisey (1946-1998) was a French composer and teacher, known for his contributions to the spectral music movement. He studied at the Paris Conservatory with Olivier Messiaen and also attended the summer courses at Darmstadt where he was exposed to the music of Karlheinz Stockhausen, Luigi Nono, and György Ligeti. Grisey's music is characterized by its exploration of the acoustic properties of sound, with an emphasis on timbre and harmonic color over traditional melodic and harmonic structures.

In addition to Vortex Temporum, some of Grisey's other notable works include Les espaces acoustiques, Partiels, and Quatre chants pour franchir le seuil. He also founded the Ensemble L'Itinéraire in 1973, which became a leading ensemble for the performance of contemporary music in France.
