«Olivier Messiaen: Une poétique du merveilleux» is Brigitte Massin's music essay, published by Alinéa in paperback (232 pages, in French).
The author studies the life and work of Olivier Messiaen in light of his «poetics of the marvellous»: childlike wonder, biblical and astronomical imagination, and a passion for birds. She shows how he integrates colour and sound, presenting his creation as a theological and poetic experience, far from any school.
Published in 1989 in Aix-en-Provence, it is part of the «De la musique» collection. Includes bibliographical references (p. 227) and discography (p. 225-226).
Aimed at music lovers and students of twentieth-century music, given its monographic nature and documentary apparatus.
