Description

Explore the comprehensive technical language of Olivier Messiaen, one of the twentieth century's most innovative composers. This Routledge publication goes beyond Messiaen's 1944 theoretical study, The Technique of My Musical Language, and his posthumously published Traite de rythme, de couleur, et d'ornithologie to systematically define and investigate his compositional methods. The book examines technical processes through detailed analysis of Messiaen's own works, providing readers with precise definitions and practical understanding of his unique musical vocabulary. Essential for musicologists, composers, and classical music scholars seeking to understand how Messiaen revolutionised twentieth-century composition through his distinctive harmonic, rhythmic, and ornithological techniques.

Key Features

Messiaen's Musical Techniques by Routledge provides comprehensive analysis of the composer's innovative twentieth-century musical language and technical processes.

The book extends beyond Messiaen's 1944 Technique of My Musical Language, offering deeper investigation into his compositional methods and theoretical framework.

Detailed explanations cover techniques from Messiaen's posthumously published Traite de rythme, de couleur, et d'ornithologie with contextual musical analysis.

Readers gain precise definitions of Messiaen's techniques by examining his own analyses and compositions throughout the publication.
