Messiaen studied at the Paris Conservatoire (1919-30) with Dukas, Dupré and others, and taught there from 1941-78 while also serving as organist of La Trinité in Paris (1931-92). His pupils include many distinguished musicians such as Boulez, Stockhausen and Xenakis.
Messiaen quickly developed an original and unique style which included innovations in harmony and melody (including the use of his ingenious modes with limited transposition capabilities); rhythm (including utilizing rhythms from ancient Greek and Hindu sources… , and developments such as palindromic rhythms and rhythms with added values); color (Messiaen had mild synaesthesia that caused him to see colors when he heard music); and orchestration (including the use of the ondes martenot and many unusual percussion instrument). Messiaen experimented with electronic music (Fête des belles eaux, 1937) and serialism (Quatre études de rythme, 1949), but made no sustained use of either.
His Roman Catholic faith was deep and lasting, and much of his music has an explicitly religious program (L’Ascension, 1933). He believed that all his music was written to glorify God and developed a sophisticated sign system with which to evangelize.
Messiaen was an ardent ornithologist. He incorporated birdsong transcriptions using his own ‘style oiseau’ into much of his music (Catalogue d’oiseaux, 1958). He wrote music in every major genre, making special contributions to the organ repertoire (Méditations sur le mystère de la Sainte Trinité, 1969), and to the piano repertoire, due largely to the skills of his second wife Yvonne Loriod (Vingt regards sur l’Enfant Jésus, 1944).

When hipsters start to like something, they don't own it. This music has EMOTION.

I'm afraid I just don't get it. I guess I'm a little conservative in my musical tastes, or maybe I just don't get what he's trying to do. I'm listening to the Quartet for the End of Time right now. I could see how this might be good programmatic music but as a stand alone piece it doesn't do anything for me. (This is my response to much of Philip Glass' work as well).

His Meditations sur le Mystere de la Sainte are some of the most beatiful organ pieces i've heard, along with Bach and Mendelssohn ones. Also, someone knows how are made that sounds of air gusts in his Canyons Aux Étoiles? i've heard them too in Jean-Philippe Rameau "Les Boréades" and always were intrigued about it.

Louange a l'Eternite de Jesus is amazing. AMAZING

Edelce a écrit :
Aun no me deja de impresionar lo cerca que su obra estaba de la confusión, pasajes endemoniadamente complicados, que incluso parecían improvisación colectiva (como en Turangalila), cada mínusculo detalle de sus piezas está tna bien pensado que da escalofrios pensar en un hombre con tanto perfeccionismo y genio. Saludos

ornithology...some tracks are indeed Bird sh@t, but music is, what music does...just like the rambling bradord suggests...music is more than busting a move on the dance floor...It creates an experience...though some pieces screw with my head

I'm ok with that. I thought it was a thought worth discussion with more people than him alone.
