Olivier Messiaen and his organ works
Zahrádková, Marie ; TŮMA, Jaroslav (advisor) ; POPELKA, Josef (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with a prominent French composer, organist and pedagogue Olivier Messiaen and his organ works. The first part of the thesis brings relevant biographic information on the composer, overview of his works, compositional inspiration and specifies facets and components of Messiaens?s musical language (rhythm, harmony, melody, forms). In the following part, the focus of the thesis shifts to organ works: not merely to composition techniques but primarily to more thorough analysis of particular sheet music ? not however from the traditional musical-analytic perspective, but rather from outside-of-music, often theological context. The main goal of the thesis is to gain an insight into the core of Messiaens?s composition techniques, inspirations and motivations through the understanding of his music language as well as his life and philosophical perspectives. Uniqueness of this creator will be demonstrated by the analysis of the Gregorian melodies, Bible quotations and liturgical texts of the pieces ?Priere avant la communio? and ?La Nativité du Seigneur.?
