Exploring the many dimensions of Messiaen's life, thought and
music, this book provides fresh perspectives on the contexts within
which the composer worked, the intellectual currents that
influenced him, and the influence he himself exerted on
twentieth-century music. It enables a holistic understanding of
this 'mondial' French composer in relation to the wider world,
including his engagement with and refiguration of theology through
music, the performance and reception of his work, the ways in which
his aesthetics and conceptual universe have been understood by his
students, and how his legacy continues to evolve. Reappraising
known facts and adding new interpretations from a variety of
inter-disciplinary and multi-disciplinary viewpoints, Messiaen in
Context provides a fresh understanding and engagement with one of
the most significant musicians of the twentieth century.
