Messiaen's Language of Mystical Love cover

These new essays written specifically for this volume explore the various aspects of Olivier Messiaen's spiritually committed musical language, drawing on his own remarks in subheadings and prefaces, his biblical and theological citations, his allusions to works of visual art, and on the language spoken directly by the musical tropes themselves.

"This volume provides an understanding of a unique apirit who attempted to reveal the essence of music." -- Choice
