COMPOSITION POINTS OF REFERENCE AND MUSICAL LANGUAGE ELEMENTS IN "VINGT REGARDS SUR L ENFANT JESUS" BY OLIVIER MESSIAEN
Abstract
The study aims at bringing to readers’ attention one of the creations of Olivier Messiaen, a composer whose name is among those who made music glorious in the 20th century European panorama. As the originality of the work, in terms of themes and structure – mostly ensured by completely innovative elements – would be impossible to analyze in a short paper, the adopted solution was that of a brief, but relevant presentation of its architecture and the absolutely novel ways in which the composer expressed his creative "intentions", in full agreement with the religious ideational content that was a strong and stable guide for him. The specific elements of musical language (the actual modes of pitch – including the ways of applying the logic of modern mathematics in the field of artificial modes – and the rhythmic patterns introduced by Messiaen into music), which require a considerable number of examples, are briefly presented, thus allowing the focus on themes and means of approaching and transforming the classic forms and patterns of creation
