Re-issued to coincide with the centenary of Messiaen's birth, The
Messiaen Companion was the first major study to appear after the
composer's death in April 1992. It was the first book to offer both
a complete survey of Messiaen's extraordinary achievements and a
comprehensive guide to his music, also examining in detail the
enduring inspiration which Messiaen derived from his religious
faith and from his lifelong passion for ornithology and the natural
world. The contributors, all of whom have made a special study of
the composer, include two biographers of Messiaen and a number of
the foremost interpreters of his music. Messiaen's influential
teaching is recalled in essays by three of his pupils (Pierre
Boulez, George Benjamin, and Peter Hill), and the composer is also
remembered in a remarkable and moving contribution from his widow
and devoted musical companion, the pianist Yvonne Loriod.
