The French composer Olivier Messiaen is one of the major figures of
twentieth-century music. This collection of scholarly essays offers
new cultural, historical, biographical and analytical perspectives
on Messiaen's musical oeuvre from 1941 to 1992. The volume
includes: a fascinating snapshot of Messiaen's life in occupied
France; a study of the Surrealist poetics of Messiaen's song cycle
Harawi; a chapter on Messiaen's iconoclastic path to the
avant-garde heritage that he bequeathed to his pupils; discussion
on Messiaen's place in twentieth-century music; and detailed
analysis of specific works, including his opera St Francois
d'Assise. The chapters provide fresh insights on the origins, style
and poetics of Messiaen's music, and therefore provide an
inspiration and foundation for future scholarship. Reflecting and
expanding upon the broad range of Messiaen's own interdisciplinary
interests, the book will be of interest to students and scholars of
music, art, literature and theology.
