Benitez, PhD, DMA Associate Professor of Music Theory The Pennsylvania State University 2015 Lise Waxer Memorial Lecture Keynote Address, Spring 2015 Meeting of the New York State/St. Lawrence Chapter of the American Musicological Society, York University, Toronto, Canada May 2, 2015
3 Messiaen and Improvisation, p. 3 Heard an improvisation by Messiaen. Music which one could say was composed after the end of the world. It is of monstrous beauty, opening up immense caverns where rivers flow, where piles of precious stones glitter. We do not know where we are in India perhaps. The composer was playing on the organ of the Trinité. Never have the vaults of this hideous edifice heard more disturbing sounds. Occasionally I had the impression that hell was opening, suddenly gaping wide. There were cataracts of strange noises which dazzled the ear. Figure 2. Julien Green s Description of Olivier Messiaen Improvising at La Trinité in 1949 (Hill and Simeone 2005, 185)

8 Messiaen and Improvisation, p. 8 J. L.: Widor was not a very fine improviser. A great composer, a great organist, but I must confess his improvisation was very boring.... Vierne was a fantastic improviser. And Tournemire. Tournemire was a really great improviser. I heard him one day in [Saint-Germain-des-Prés]. He improvised for 45 minutes without any interruption and it was magnificent all the time.... D. B.: It s common to find improvisation described as a type of instant composition, but are they not completely different types of activity producing completely different results? J. L.: Yes, an example of that is the difference between Tournemire s improvisation and his composition. And the same for Dupré.... [For] me right now, the greatest musician for the organ is Olivier Messiaen. He Figure 7. Jean Langlais s Opinions about his Parisian Colleagues as Improvisers in an Interview with Derek Bailey
9 Messiaen and Improvisation, p. 9 [has been] a very good friend of mine for many years.... If you are familiar with Messiaen's work and then go to the Trinité and listen to his improvisations, you will not recognize him as the same musician. Very different. And sometimes, but this does not apply to Messiaen, sometimes the improviser is more interesting than the composer. Figure 7. Jean Langlais s Opinions about his Parisian Colleagues as Improvisers in an Interview with Derek Bailey (continued)
10 Messiaen and Improvisation, p. 10 Messe de la Pentecôte (1950) Considered by Messiaen to be the summit of his improvisational art. Corresponds almost with the length of a Low Mass. Méditations sur le Mystère de la Sainte-Trinité (1969) Began as a series of improvisations by Messiaen designed to accompany sermons on the mystery of God by Monsignor Charles of Sacré-Cœur in honor of the centenary of La Trinité.
