Roderick Chadwick and Peter Hill give a detailed account of the
evolution of Olivier Messiaen's Catalogue d'oiseaux for piano solo,
from its initial conception in the Black Forest in 1953 to its
completion and premiere in the Parisian 'Concerts du Domaine
Musical' at the end of the decade. Through close examination of the
composer's birdsong cahiers they demonstrate how Messiaen
translated nature into music in a way that had a major impact on
his later work. They also consider issues of performance, and
Messiaen's artistic relationship with his dedicatee and wife-to-be,
Yvonne Loriod, including the significance of her two recordings of
the cycle. This book illuminates the Catalogue from a variety of
angles: its historical significance, as a study of how mimicry of
nature can be transformed into music of mesmeric originality, and
as a guide that offers a wealth of fresh insights to listeners and
performers.
