One of the most original geniuses of the 20th century.

according to messiaen birds have a kind of musical knowledge. the indian culture is also familiar with this idea. but most of the western musicologists deny it. they take it for some kind of reflex or automatism, for example heinrich schenker, what a FOOL !

I had an idea to do this ... and thankfully Messiaen beat me to it many years earler :)

PS - they should also check out my Messiaen movie APPARITION OF THE ETERNAL CHURCH (search on the name to find)

[paulfesta]

This is terrific - and anyone who liked it should check out Hill & Simeone's masterful and lavishly illustrated biography "Messiaen" (Yale University Press 2005)

Enrichissant ! Messiaen et les oiseaux : prolongement et illustration des chemins ornithologiques de Messiaen, sur le web : "site du partenariat radio classique messiaen" - (ouvrez la 2ème entrée pour lire le texte en supplément): une classe d'élèves de première explore très sensiblement cet univers

Great video.

I studied Messian in mus history this semester. I think videos like this are great because it allows everyone to see these historical figures through something other than a textbook. Thank you.
