from Part III - Composers, Performers, and Critics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 November 2023
Messiaen is famous for the length of his tenure as titular organist at Sainte-Trinité, which lasted from 1931 to his death in 1992. This chapter explores his appointment, details of his duties, and notable events during his career. It discusses the relationship between him and other prominent organist-composers during this period, including Franck, Tournemire, and Langlais. It deals in detail with the Cavaillé-Coll Grand Organ in La Trinité and how this may have influenced not only his organ compositions, but also his other works; it also refers to the importance of the recordings he made on the instrument, playing his own works.
