Abstract(s)
O objecto de estudo do presente trabalho é o de realizar uma aproximação espiritual à linguagem de Olivier Messiaen bem como uma contemplação religiosa, a partir da análise da sua obra para Piano, Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jésus. Obra de grande envergadura do repertório pianístico, composta entre 23 de Março e 8 de Setembro de 1944, compreende um ciclo de 20 peças com mais de duas horas de duração. Música pensada para o piano, esta escrita pianística por excelência, representa um corpo único e homogéneo na qual encontramos as características habituais da linguagem de Messiaen. Contudo, toda a concepção e intenção temática da obra são profundamente religiosas, tal como refere Messiaen: retrata a realidade da “contemplação do Menino-Jesus no presépio e os olhares que surgem sobre ele”. O método adoptado nesta investigação foi estabelecido de modo a permitir aprofundar o conhecimento da obra e criar ideias ou recursos que possam ser aplicados na sua interpretação musical. Para tal, foram consultados registos bibliográficos relativos ao assunto em epígrafe e realizadas entrevistas a entidades que directa ou indirectamente privaram com o compositor. Procura-se assim a sistematização de conhecimentos e o desenvolvimento artístico no leitor.
O estudo exaustivo da obra permitiu-nos obter uma visão mais completa e conceptual da mesma, bem como da respectiva componente espiritual subjacente.
Este documento pretende ainda oferecer aos executantes, à comunidade académica e aos entusiastas da música de Olivier Messiaen, um resumo da investigação sobre a vida e obra do compositor, apresentando uma visão sobre os Vingt Regards sur l’Enfant-Jesus que proporciona a abertura de novas direcções para futuras investigações e interpretações sobre a mesma.
The aim of this work was to present a spiritual approach to the language of Olivier Messiaen as well as a religious contemplation, from the analysis of his work for piano, Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant-Jésus. Major work of the piano repertoire, composed between March 23 and September 8, 1944, it comprises a cycle of 20 pieces which the complete performance surpasses two hours. A work composed for piano, it , represents the specific or idiossincratic features of the language of Messiaen. The conception and intent of the thematic material of the work are deeply religious, as referred by Messiaen: it portrays the reality of the "contemplation of the Child Jesus in the manger and the looks that come upon him." The method adopted in this study was established to allow a greater understanding of the work and thus explore and generate ideas or resources that can be applied in its musical interpretation. To this, bibliographic records were consulted and entities that directly or indirectly have contacted with the composer were interviewed. The comprehensive study of the work allowed us to obtain a more complete and conceptually vision of it, as well as its underlying spiritual component. This study intends to provide performers, the academic community and music enthusiasts of Olivier Messiaen, a summary of research on the life and work of the composer, presenting a vision of the Vingt Regards sur L'Enfant Jesus who hopefully delivers the opening of new directions for future investigations and interpretations of the work.
