Subtilité des Corps Glorieux 2. Les eaux de la Gr ce 3. L'ange auxparfums 4. Combat de Mort et de la Vie 5. Force et agilité des Corps Glorieux 6. Joie et clarté des Corps Glorieux 7. Le Mystère de la Sainte-Trinité. Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French organist and composer passionateabout ornithology and one of the most important composers of his century. Inspired by Japanese music, he had a very special way of composing and his work can be identified by its complexity, its diatonic aspect, its harmony withlimited transposition, its colour and its additive rhythms.
