Of the second movement (’Vocalise.’ ), while birdsong is the major topic of the third (’Abime des oiseaux’). The quartet was written as Messiaen was conducting the experiments that led to his early book ’Technique’, and Pople carefully charts the innovations of rhythm and pitch that Messiaen was developing at this time.
Olivier Messiaen was born in Avignon, France on December 10, 1908, and so in 2008 we celebrate his centennial. He was a composer, organist, and renowned teacher, and one of the most significant French musicians of his generation. According to Grove Music Online, Messiaen ’was a musician apart. The sources of his music may be traced on the one hand to the French organ tradition and on the other to the innovations of Debussy, Stravinsky and Bartók, but right at the start of his career he found a modal system that has a completely individual sound, and to this he remained true, even when he vastly extended the possibilities of his style after World War II. He was alone, too, among major 20th-century composers in his joyously held Catholic faith, which again was unswerving, however much he came to value non-European cultures, especially Indian and Japanese. As a teacher he instructed many of the most prominent composers of the next two generations.’ The musicologist Paul Griffiths gives a brief general description of Messiaen’s music as follows:’He had his music move with a singleness of purpose, even while it drew on a range of sources (chant and late Romantic orchestral sound, birdsongs and irregular rhythmic patterns) with no attempt at synthesis. Indeed, his mosaic forms, coupled with static harmonies derived from his personal system of modes, give even his earliest pieces an original sense of time not as flow but as pre-existing, revealing itself to human temporality in sequences of brilliant unalike instants.’
Messiaen’s most significant composition, the Quartet for the End of Time, received its premiere performance on January 15, 1941 under extraordinary and unusual circumstances. Messiaen wrote the work while a captive in a German prisoner of war camp during World War Two. That camp was the Stalag VIII A, located near the town of Görlitz-Moys in Silesia, Germany. During the course of his captivity, Messiaen met three fellow prisoners who were also accomplished musicians: Etienne Pasquier, a world-class cellist who had already secured an international reputation as a member of the Pasquier Trio; Jean Le Boulaire, a violinist who had studied at the Paris Conservatory; and Henri Akoka, a clarinetist who was a member of the Paris-based Orchestre National de la Radio. Accordingly, Messiaen scored his quartet for violin, cello, clarinet, and piano, and these four prisoners gave the piece that first performance in 1941 before an audience largely consisting of other prisoners of war. The performance took place in one of the prison barracks that had been converted into a makeshift theater, and with Messiaen playing on an old upright piano.Abime Des Oiseaux Messiaen Pdf En
The quartet exemplifies all of the principal characteristics mentioned above, drawing upon plainchant, imitating birdsongs, using irregular rhythmic patterns, and above all serving as a profound expression of Messiaen’s Catholic faith: the title refers to a passage in the book of Revelation, where an angel announces ’there will be no more time.’
The Quartet for the End of Time provides many interesting possibilities for discussion in Freshman Studies. There are two fascinating stories connected with the piece-the story of its composition in a prison camp, and the apocalyptic story told by the piece itself. [Whether we can believe him or not, Messiaen claimed that these two stories were not directly related to one another!] In addition, the quartet can be approached from many different angles: the use of many interesting or novel ways to organize musical time, the use of birdsong, the use of tone color and of color imagery (the angel is crowned with a rainbow), and the representation of other elements from Messiaen’s biblical inspiration. Each movement may be critically compared with specific passages in the composer’s preface to the work, and the analysis given on this website greatly facilitates such comparisons.

Soon after the 1941 premiere of the quartet, Messiaen was released, and within a year he had been appointed to a position teaching harmony at the Paris Conservatory. His classes became legendary, and he trained and influenced nearly all of the most important musicians (including Boulez, Xenakis, and Stockhausen) in Europe’s post war avant-garde. Messiaen died in Paris on April 28, 1992.Abime Des Oiseaux Messiaen Pdf Free
