Thesis (Ph.D.)--The University of Manchester (United Kingdom), 2005.

Publication of Messiaen's seven-volume Traite de rythme, de couleur, et d'ornithologie began in 1994 and was completed in 2002. This treatise is a collection of Messiaen's writings (many of which are based on his teaching material at the Paris Conservatoire) produced between 1949 and 1992, compiled and edited by his widow Yvonne Loriod-Messiaen and former pupil Alain Louvier, the order of material having been decided by Messiaen shortly before his death. The Traite is immensely important, not only with regard to Messiaen scholarship, but also as a document of twentieth-century musical thought in general, and in particular of its relationship with extra-musical influences. While numerous composers have published writings on music theory, on their own works, and on the compositions of fellow musicians, none rivals the scale and detail provided by Messiaen. Within the treatise he provides indispensable analyses of nine of his own works, a groundbreaking survey of Stravinsky's The Rite of Spring, descriptive commentaries on the music of Debussy, and myriad comments on other composers from Adam de la Halle to Stockhausen, and on musical concepts from Greek and Hindu rhythms through to 'irrational' rhythms. Details of Messiaen's interests in topics such as philosophy and literature add a further dimension. The most problematic aspect of the Traite is the unhelpful organisation of material. Related topics are spread across its seven volumes, and Messiaen occasionally repeats small amounts of material that have appeared in an earlier volume. His often confusing presentation within chapters creates further difficulties. Therefore a primary goal of the present dissertation is to re-present and provide a commentary on each topic found in the Traite, unless otherwise indicated. Any omissions are largely confined to sections which are extremely whimsical, or which are duplicated elsewhere (either in Messiaen's earlier treatise, his own notes for recordings and scores, or in other parts of the Traite). Special attention has been given to arguably the most important part of the treatise-Messiaen's self-analyses. These suffer from patchy and inconsistent coverage, some movements are given lavish treatment while others receive short shrift, the omission of cross-references, a lack of musical examples sufficient to clarify points being made in the text, insertion of often irrelevant anecdotes and a verbosity that impedes the reader's ability to assimilate musical procedures. The re-presentation and commentary retain the core ideas of Messiaen's original in a much contracted and more manageable form. Therefore the 3362 pages of the original have been reduced by 70-80%. The chapterisation of the present dissertation aims to introduce Messiaen's extra-musical interests, provide an updated technical guide, discuss Messiaen's theoretical interests, before providing a commentary on his activities as an analyst.
