About

Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992) was a French composer and organist, one of the most distinctive voices in 20th-century music. His work is deeply shaped by Catholic mysticism and a lifelong fascination with birdsong. Notable works include the Quartet for the End of Time (1941) and the song cycle Chants de terre et de ciel (1938).
