Being a
fascinatingly unique
composer, Olivier
Messiaen pushed the
conventions of composing
to its very limits. The
composer''s music remains
ever-popular and The
Technique of my Musical
Language provides the key
and necessary knowledge
into the study of his
delightful music. Olivier
Messiaen (1908-1992) was
admitted to the Paris
Conservatoire at the mere
age of 11, where he won
many prizes. As a
passionate ornithologist,
as well as organist and
composer, many of
Messiaen''s works depict
bird song. His music is
rhythmically complex and
harmonically and
melodically distinct,
often using modes of
limited transposition. It
is for these reasons that
the composer compiled The
Technique of my Musical
Language. The book
contains text with
musical examples,
describing unique
elements of his music,
such as ametrical music,
his rhythmic notations
and his modes of limited
transposition, among many
others. For all fans of
Messiaen, The Technique
of my Musical Language is
essential to the
understanding of the
composer''s much loved
music..
