* AvianFlute: The flute/piano duo ''The Blackbird'' is one of this composer's earliest works to show his affinity for avian song. The flute's bird-like arsenal of effects includes trills, fast staccato passages, grace-note embellishments, and fleet scalar figures.

* RealitySubtext: ''Quatuor pour la fin du temps'', which reflects on themes about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt, was composed while Messiaen was a prisoner of war during UsefulNotes/WorldWarII. It was premiered in a concert with other prisoners.

Synesthesia is not a trope.
* AuthorAppeal: Topics that fascinated Messiaen included bird song, his Catholic faith, and the legend of Literature/TristanAndIseult. These can be found ''everywhere'' in his music. Also noteworthy was his synesthesia: many of his own prefaces casually refer to individual motifs and chords as "golden", "purple", "orange" etc. despite the fact that most listeners cannot possibly get the reference (even other synesthetes don't necessarily have the '''same''' associations to the same sound).

* UncommonTime: Messiaen's use of rhythm is extremely complex even as twentieth-century music goes, often based on patterns from Hindu music or palindromic forms ("nonretrogradable rhythms"). As under AllThereInTheManual, he wrote a treatise on rhythm... which is [[DoorStopper seven volumes long]].

Olivier Messiaen (1908-1992) was a French composer of {{classical music}}.
He was a pianist, organist, composer, and devout Catholic Christian. Religion figured strongly into his compositions; he wrote an opera about Saint Francis of Assisi and a two-hour cycle of twenty piano pieces meant to be contemplations on the infant Jesus. Among music theorists, he's also known for developing and using a set of scales he called "modes of limited transposition", as well as a frequent lack of time signature, which results in anything from irregular, jagged rhythms to something akin to Medieval chant, which was also unmetered. He was also very interested in birdsong; he tried to transcribe bird sounds into musical notation, and wrote instrumental imitations of bird calls into some of his music.
Famous works by Olivier Messiaen include:
* ''Quatuor pour la fin du temps'' ("Quartet for the End of Time", quartet for piano, clarinet, violin, and cello)
* ''Saint François d'Assise'' ("Saint Francis of Assisi", opera)
* ''Turangalîla-Symphonie'' ("Turangalila Symphony", work for large orchestra; the character Turanga Leela from ''{{Futurama}}'' is named after this piece)
* ''Vingt regards sur l'enfant Jésus'' ("Twenty Contemplations upon the Infant Jesus", set of piano pieces)
Tropes represented in his work:
* AllThereInTheManual: His work often followed certain special rules of tonality derived from scales he called "modes of limited transposition". Some are relatively obvious (such as the better-known whole-tone and octatonic scales), but for a full explanation, you ought to consult his writings about these modes.
* WorldOfSymbolism: Some of his works are like this. The ''Vingt Regards sur l'Enfant Jésus'' features not just titles that are related to various things related to baby Jesus, but extensive annotations throughout the score indicating {{leitmotif}}s and other musical constructions that are meant to represent various concepts, characters, or events.
