Abstract
The
purpose of this study is to demonstrate Olivier Messiaen’s musical language as
applied to his piano music. It also provides a picture of how he combined his
unique compositional technique with his strong Catholic faith and presented
them in his composition. The research materials have been gathered from
published secondary sources and from direct performance of the music. General
biographical articles about Messiaen’s life have been researched to emphasize
significant events of his life that are directly reflected in his music. Also,
the background of Vingt Regards Sur
l’Enfant- Jésus (Twenty Gazes upon the Infant Jesus) has been studied to
find out how the analyzed work is related to the entire cycle. A formal
breakdown of the piece (modes of the limited transposition, themes of the Vingt Regards, rhythmic and harmonic
structures etc.) has been made to understand how the musical language and
rhythmic structure interact to generate tonal progression and formal structure,
how the piece relate to the title, and how the
piece relate to the religious and mystical views of the entire cycle and
his general musical output.
