The
Glorious Bodies, by
Olivier Messiaen is a
composition that exhibits
his Roman Catholic faith.
Written for organ in
1939, it is a mix between
Indian music and
Gregorian Plainsong. This
first volume includes the
first three pieces of the
whole composition: 1.
Subtilite des Corps
Glorieux, 2. Les eaux de
la Grace and 3. L'ange
aux parfums. This piece
is divided in 7 sections:
1. Subtilite des Corps
Glorieux 2. Les eaux de
la Grace 3. L'ange aux
parfums 4. Combat de Mort
et de la Vie 5. Force et
agilite des Corps
Glorieux 6. Joie et
clarte des Corps Glorieux
7. Le Mystere de la
Sainte-Trinite. Olivier
Messiaen (1908-1992) was
a French organist and
composer passionate about
ornithology and one of
the most important
composers of his century.
Inspired by Japanese
music, he had a very
special way of composing
and his work can be
identified by its
complexity, its diatonic
aspect, its harmony with
limited transposition,
its colour and its
additive rhythms. He
composed many works
related to ornithology
and birdsong, including
the Bird Catalogue in 7
volumes and the Treatise
on Rhythm, Colour and
Ornithology in 7
volumes.
