  • doesn't get any better than messiaen. A huge influence on 20th century music that is still being felt to this day.

  • These are organ pipes, lots of pipes inside the organ look like this.

  • What is the image shown at 8:56 ? (the matrix of metal spikes of different lengths) Is that a part of a church organ or something? I'm very much intrigued, because it looks like something I imagined once while listening to Mode de Valeurs et d'Intensitées.

  • Enrichissant ! Prolongement et illustration des chemins de Messiaen, search on web : "site du partenariat radio classique messiaen" - (open the second entry to read the text en supplément): une classe d'élèves de première explore très sensiblement cet univers
