from Part IV - Concepts and Legacy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 09 November 2023
The spectralist composers in Messiaen’s class of 1971#–2 are an important part of Messiaen’s legacy. This chapter addresses how Messiaen’s work was essential to the creative thinking of Tristan Murail and Gérard Grisey. It focusses on what these composers absorbed from Messiaen and how they qualified, extended, and enriched his legacy. In particular it understands these composers through the lens of an ecology of listening in which the concerns of the listener are an active formant in the compositional thinking.
