    Parts of the Turangalila Symphony were originally written for "By George!", a 1945 Broadway musical portraying the life of the Lancashire-born, ukelele-playing comic singer George Formby. For example, the fully developed 8-note sequence of the Statue Theme was sung to the words of "My Grandad's Flannelette Night Shirt". Koussivitsky saw its potential and asked Messiaen to expand it into a larger-scale orchestral piece. The rest, as they say, is history.

    Most amazing piece indeed! Very rewarding watching it live. I remember this was the first piece of Messiaen I heard. When I heard the strings shreik (that cue at 1:12), I thought YIKES!! The toning brass in parallel thirds along with it is known as the "Statue Theme". I always wondered why it's called so. Now I'm thinking maybe Messiaen thought of the magical petrifying transformation when one looks into the Medusa's eyes.

    Des anyons aux etioles is another great work by Messiaen. hope its at the proms this year!

  • @jjinterzone
    @jjinterzone 16 років тому

    I understand where you're coming from, however the music of Messiaen is written such that a lot of what he wanted in the music is written in the score. Messiaen was such an excellent pianist that he knew what he wanted, so he wrote it!

  • @fremsley001

    @Goose4Lu71. Yes indeed. And George's influence didn't stop there. Scholars now believe Messiaen's 1963 work Couleurs de la Cité Céleste was inspired by Formby's catchphrase "It's turned out nice again, hasn't it?"

    @TheRaoul76 actually, most of messian's stuff was composed before Vt. II (including this piece, which was composed from 1946-1948). He was interested in ethnomusicology; as a result, decided to spice up his pieces with exotic elements such as additive rhythms of indian music. The Catholic side of him comes into play when you hear plainchant inspiration in some of his other pieces. Remember, he was 20thcentury, so he was on the cutting edge and thus sounds more "out there".

    believe it or not, this influenced leela's name from futurama.

    3:18 - That was used as Maleficent's theme from Disney's Sleeping Beauty. This symphony was written in 1948 and I believe Sleeping Beauty was 1959.

    @TheRaoul76 actually, most of messian's stuff was composed before Vatican II, right (including this piece, which was composed from 1946-1948).

  • @Goose4Lu71
    @Goose4Lu71 13 років тому

    @fremsley001 That's correct. In fact, "Turangalila" can be roughly translated from Sanskrit to mean 'the post I lean from (until a lady walks by). It all makes sense now.

    For this particular performance the orchestra was double the size it was written for, as far as I am aware.

  • @TimboBandit
    @TimboBandit 15 років тому

    You're right, Messiaen was a roman Catholic and a composer, AND wrote music for the Church, therefore making him a Catholic composer by any stretch of the definition.
    However, just to be a stickler, I want to point out that plenty of athiest composers have written music for the Church too. Writing religious music doesn't necessarily make one a religious composer; but in Messiaen's case, he was.

  • @jre58591
    @jre58591  15 років тому

    True. That is because Matt Groening, the creator, is a Messiaen fan.

    @TheRaoul76 I don't know what you mean. This completely sounds like a natural evolution of Palestrina! The same grace and resolution of discord.
    And can't you hear all the beautiful bird songs that we know Messiaen incorporated into his music? When I hear this (and other pieces by Messiaen, of course), I feel like I'm experiencing a lovely spring morning out in nature!
    /sarcasm off
    Someone called this the "Ninth Symphony" of the twentieth century. Now that's funny.

    No, that's not an Ondes Martenot. The Ondes Martenot has a yellowish brown color on this video. You see her at 1:23 and 2:30. At 3:25 you see a celesta playing, and a keyboardglockenspiel not playing.

  • @jre58591
    @jre58591  16 років тому

    Messiaen was actually thinking of the large Mexican monuments, such as the famous pyramids, when he wrote this.

  • @jre58591
    @jre58591  15 років тому

    No, he IS a Catholic composer. This may not be one of the works that reflects that, but he was a hardcore Catholic, that is for sure. Listen to La Transfiguration de Notre Seigneur Jesus Christ (or something along those lines) and you'll know how much of a Catholic composer he was.

  • @MusicaRicercata
    @MusicaRicercata 15 років тому

    As far as your characterisation goes, it IS ineducated. I take no issue with Captain Kirk, but I think using this music to describe said is ignorance of the profundity of the work. I wouldn't take issue if you were to use, say, a work by Xenakis or Stockhausen to describe a battle (since their works are genuinely charged and are appropriate), but I think you greatly misunderstand the purpose of the Turangalîla.

  • @MusicaRicercata
    @MusicaRicercata 15 років тому

    What do you mean to imply? That my opinion is entirely negated on the account of a typo? You're successful at pulling a red herring, but from this point on anything you say I will not take into consideration with any sincerity.
    Now can we all shut up and just enjoy the music? This bickering does nothing to contribute to the enjoyment of this wonderful work. Everyone shut up about such trivial nonsense, and let's enjoy Turangalîla.

    I would advice you do a bit more research of the people you wish to attack before you make such strong accusations. The first thing I see when I open his profile is Frank Zappa's debate on American television concerning lyric censorship, along with a video of George Carlin and a fair lot of "plebeian" entertainment. I don't think he's the "conformist wanker" you kindly ascribe.
