COMPOSERS' B-DAY SONGS SERIES:
MESSIAEN (DECEMBER)
The twelfth video of my new series
- Composers' B-day Songs -
celebrates Olivier Messiaen, one of the most prodigious musicians of the 20th century. His music is very complex and revolves around colours, symmetry and divinity. One of his most famous works is the "Quartuor pour la fin du temps", which he wrote while in a German prison camp during WW2. He was so fascinated by birds that he spent agonisingly long periods of time transcribing their singing and more than a quarter of his entire compositions are dedicated to them.
Happy Birthday, Olivier!
Pianist. Improviser. Composer.
