Hardback. Condition: New. This groundbreaking biography offers fresh perspectives on the life, ideas and music of French twentieth-century composer, organist and ornithologist Olivier Messiaen.

This book examines the profound impact of Messiaen's devout Catholicism, which found expression through his work as a church organist, his engagement with birdsong, his interaction with Surrealism and his influence on major musical figures of the latter twentieth century.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Drawing on a range of sources and fields, the rich life story of this polymathic composer.This groundbreaking biography offers fresh perspectives on the life, ideas, and music of French twentieth-century composer, organist, and ornithologist Olivier Messiaen. Drawing from previously unexplored sketches and archival material, the book seamlessly combines elements of biography, musicology, theology, philosophy, psychoanalysis, and aesthetics to present a nuanced perspective on Messiaen's work. Robert Sholl explores the profound impact of Messiaen's devout Catholicism, which found expression through his work as a church organist, his engagement with birdsong, his interaction with Surrealism, and his profound influence on major musical figures of the latter twentieth century. Unlike previous biographies, this book also considers the perspectives of Messiaen's contemporaries and students, providing a comprehensive understanding of his life and artistic legacy.'Sholl's critical biography is enhanced by his skillful use of musical, theological, philosophical and aesthetic details regarding Messiaen's life and work, and further enriched by the inclusion of previously unexplored material from Messiaen's archives. After situating the composer in the cultural milieu of the 1930s, Sholl dedicates chapters to essential elements of Messiaen's multifarious career as composer, teacher, theologian and ornithologist. Writing with clarity and insight, Sholl has provided a readable and engaging contribution to understanding the complicated life and work of one of the twentieth century's most important figures. Highly recommended.' Andrew Shenton, professor of music, Boston University'Sholl's new biography of Messiaen sheds fresh light on the extraordinary originality of his music. Among the wealth of fascinating detail much comes from the composer himself, as well as from his teachers, contemporaries, pupils, and from those who have studied, researched, and performed his music. Sholl's commentaries on the music are acutely perceptive - and as a bonus to this rich feast the photographs are marvellous.' Peter Hill, emeritus professor of music, University of Sheffield, and coauthor of Olivier Messiaen: Oiseaux exotiques An exploration of the life, ideas and music of visionary composer Olivier Messiaen.
