  • Olivier Messiaen

    Richard D E Burton, Roger NicholsBOOKOlivier Messiaen2016

    Professor Burton’s approach to nine early works of Olivier Messiaen is not that of a musicologist, but is based on a deep knowledge and understanding of the tradition and writings of French Catholicism and also of the literature of surrealism. He prises open, in any number of unexpected and fascinating ways, the subtexts of Messiaen’s pieces which are often hidden, made up as they are of disjunct fragments from the Bible and theological writings.…

  • Olivier Messiaen

    Richard D E Burton, Roger NicholsBOOKOlivier Messiaen2016

    French Literature scholar Richard Burton takes a wider cultural view of Messiaen's life and work than any previously published, embracing his particular brand of Roman Catholicism, his wide biblical reading and his relationship with other artists such as Frank Martin and Jean Cocteau.

  • Agape and Eros (II)

    Richard D E Burton, Roger L Nichols et al.CHAPTEROlivier Messiaen2016

    Burton here looks at the versions of the Tristan story and the explorations of Amerindian cultures made at this time. In any case, Messiaen’s literary source was in all likelihood Joseph Bédier’s ‘lively and accessible rewriting of the myth in modern French’, rather than Gottfried von Strasburg’s version, followed by Wagner. One of Burton’s main concerns, though, is the question ‘But where in all this is King Mark?’ Messiaen’s apparent refusal to…

  • Agape and Eros (I)

    Richard D E Burton, Roger L Nichols et al.CHAPTEROlivier Messiaen2016

    In this chapter on the two song cycles Poèmes pour Mi and Chants de Terre et de Ciel, the focus is on Messiaen’s musical responses to his first marriage to Claire Delbos, and to the birth of their son Pascal in July 1937. Burton is particularly puzzled by the gradual elimination of Claire from the songs supposedly dedicated to her, which he even categorizes as ‘not Poèmes pour Mi but Poems for Me ...’ Among the topics discussed are the relationsh…

  • Camille Saint-Saëns on music and musicians

    Camille Saint-Saens, Roger NicholsBOOKCamille Saint-Saëns on music and…2008

    Camille Saint-Saëns is a memorable figure not only for his successes as a composer of choral and orchestral works, and the eternally popular opera 'Samson et Dalila', but also because he was a keen observer of the musical culture in which he lived. This text brings some of his writings to life in English translation.

  • Charles Gounod

    Roger NicholsCHAPTERCamille Saint-Saëns on music and…2008

    There are two sides to Charles Gounod's artistic personality: the Christian side and the pagan side, the seminary pupil and the Prix de Rome student, the apostle and the minstrel. Sometimes the two operate together, as in Faust, giving the work a sharply defined character; whereas in Polyeucte they are juxtaposed and cancel each other out. The choruses in Ulysse, the first version of Sapho, and Philémon et Baucis show the pagan unadorned, the mas…

  • On Not Writing a Preface

    Roger NicholsCHAPTERCamille Saint-Saëns on music and…2008

    This chapter presents Camille Saint–Saëns’ letter to George Docquois, telling him the reasons for not writing a preface to introduce Docquois’ poetical thoughts and collected verse plays. It holds that is generally acknowledged that writers, without knowing anything about music, are qualified to judge it, but that musicians on the contrary, however literate they may be, have no rights in the field of literature.

  • Berlioz I

    Roger NicholsCHAPTERCamille Saint-Saëns on music and…2008

    With the publication of his Lettres intimes, people have begun to talk once again of Berlioz's venomous nature and bad character. This chapter holds, however that Berlioz was not a cunning person: he was sincere, and said what was in his heart and his head without thinking about the consequences. It suggests that Berlioz was too fond of Shakespeare, Byron and Goethe, and he unwittingly admitted the fact. It was Lélio that gave Camille Saint–Saëns…
