Abstract

Lists, Reliquaries and Angels in Music and the Modern World

Johan Tallgren

Umberto Eco states that the list is the origin of culture, a way of making infinity

comprehensible. Lists and catalogues are a way of creating order though history. I

am currently, as a composer, working on a piece for choir using a list of angels as

its text. Lists of angels deal with infinity, the list as such converges the three

different monotheistic religions under the same roof. In my research I have tried to

create a short overview of the history of lists in music, along with the musical

presentation of angels in music – a subject that has fascinated many composers.

Composers of last century such as Arnold Schoenberg, Oliver Messiaen and

Karlheinz Stockhausen, to mention just a few, dealt with the representation of the

angelic and divine in their music. Their different religious backgrounds suggested

different strategies in their works dealing with angelic subjects.

1. Lists as devices for creating form and structure

Lists and catalogues have, throughout the ages, had an important function in all forms of

literature, be they descriptive lists of the scents on the streets in Patrick Süskind’s

Perfume, the list of those encountered by Ulysses on entering Hades in Homer’s Odyssey,

or the genealogy of Jesus in the Gospel according to St. Matthew.

Very often the lists in literature have, however, had an aesthetic project: to make us

readers perceive something infinite, something that is potentially endless, something

beyond what we can embrace or imagine.

Visual equivalents may be found in Giovanni Paolo Pannini’s famous vedute paintings of

large picture galleries, their views of Rome creating the illusion that the painting in

question is just highlighting a fragment of the enormous visual library. The spacing and

lighting were not of primary importance in these paintings, as was the fashion at that time.

What mattered was the impression of abundance, thus also demonstrating the patron’s

wealth. In the Netherlands, these gallery paintings, for which patrons commissioned

painters to portray themselves with their personal collection, were likewise very popular.1

Judgment in the Sistine Chapel.

Umberto Eco, in The Infinity of Lists, distinguishes between practical, pragmatic and

poetic lists. 2 A practical list qualifies as a shopping list, an inventory or a library or

museum catalogue, its function being to provide the user with the information needed.

Eco points out that pragmatic lists are not literary lists; they can be extended indefinitely

like a telephone directory, as they do not have to observe formal constraints in the way

that a sonnet or rhyme does. A poetic or literary list works with formal constraints. When

Homer was making his lists of the leaders of the Greeks, or of the dead Ulysses meets

upon entering Hades, his primary interest was probably not accuracy; he was working

with material in his own epic world. His lists deal not with the signified but with

signifiers with different sounds and phonic values.

The scriptures include many lists of genealogy, just as most of the litanies in the Catholic

Church were recited by the faithful in Latin until the Second Vatican Council, though

most of them did not in fact speak or understand the language. It could be said that the

list becomes part of a ritual in which comprehension, or who is present in or absent from

the list is of secondary importance to the sometimes even minimalistic sound qualities of

the recited list.

Dante is not able to name the different angels in the heavens in his Commedia, not

because of their names but because there are so many. Canto XXIX of the Paradiso thus

deals in a certain way with the topos of ineffability. Dante deals with a subject that

exceeds the possibilities of the human mind. 3

2. Lists in music; reciting a catalogue, becoming a ritual

The best-known list in Western music is undoubtedly Leporello’s list of Don Giovanni’s

amorous encounters in the Catalogue Aria in Mozart’s Don Giovanni. It matters that he

had 2063 encounters, but we do not need to know them all by name. What matters is the

fast tempo of the aria and Leporello’s ability to articulate the exact numbers of women

the famous libertine encountered in different countries. Equally amusing ramblings of

lesser importance can be found in many scenes in the comic operas of Rossini. Drinking

songs depicting drinking habits can be found at a later stage in Carl Orff’s Carmina

Burana in song no.14, In taberna quando sumus (When we are in the tavern).

3. Angels in the monotheistic religions and literature, angelic hierarchies

Angels, or messengers (Malak in Hebrew), are most often linked to the Judeo-Christian

tradition, but most of the cultures and religions that predate them also had divine

messengers who intermediated between the visible and invisible worlds, God and man,

living and dead.

The ban on images in Judaism has meant that little early angelic iconography has

survived, and nor is there a systematically organized Judaic angeology. 4 Post-Talmudic

mysticism has in this respect been significant, but due to the diverse geographical

placement of teachers and haggadists , the specific area has not received much

systematic theological study or systematization. There are many examples in the Talmud

of angels added to a Biblical narrative. Jewish sources differentiate first and foremost

between two categories of angels: messengers and praising angels that already existed

before the Creation.

The medieval Sephardic philosopher Moshe ben Maimon (“Maimonides”) from Spain

enumerates ten ranks of angels;

Chayot ha Kodesh Ophanim Erelim Hasmallim Seraphim Malakim Elohim Bene Elohim Cherubim Ishim

The non-canonical First Book of Enoch mentions seven archangels, of which Michael

represents Israel in Heaven, the later Book of Kabbalah written during the 13th century

takes up the seven Heavens, something that had a great influence on symbolism in

European art, and later in occult trends in the 19th and 20th century New Age movements.

The mystical book of Zohar states that each human being has two angels, one bad, one

good, and that they can be either masculine or feminine.5 That the Hebrew word for angel

is “messenger” further implies that the distinction between an angelic messenger and a

human is open to interpretation.

Of the three major monotheistic religions, Christianity is the one most preoccupied with

theories of angels and their internal hierarchy. It may be said that as Christian theology

started to develop after the Emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion of

the Roman Empire, the different tasks of angels became more and more defined. Their

primary function here is to praise God, the second to protect, often soldiers, guardians of

Paradise and messengers. They are often referred to as psychopomps, those that escort

the souls of the dead from Earth to Heaven. The apocryphal texts describe the Archangel

Michael as a psychopomp.

The book De Coelesti Hierarchia (On the Celestial Hierarchy) written by Pseudo-

Dionysius the Areopagite in Greek in the 5th century can said to be the first Christian

book dealing with angeology and mysticism and defining the Celestial Hierarchy. 6

In De angelis in his Summa Theologica 1, Thomas Aquinas follows the same hierarchy,

divided into three angelic choirs:

First Hierarchy: Seraphim, Cherubim, and Thrones Second Hierarchy: Dominions, Virtues, and Powers Third Hierarchy: Principalities, Archangels, and Angels

In the First Hierarchy the angels surrounded and praised God, the Second Hierarchy

governed the stars and the elements. The Powers were military figures that fought devils.

In the Third Hierarchy the angels maintained contact between Heaven and Earth; they

transmitted the word of God to humanity. Within each hierarchy there were three choirs,

the highest hierarchies burning brightly so that the angels are not perceptible to humans.

The Bible mentions Michael and Gabriel as Archangels.

6 Evelyn D. Oliver and James R. Lewis : Angels A to Z, p. 183.

Page 10: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

Hildegard von Bingen describes and divides the hierarchy into nine angelic choirs in her

Scivias based on her visions from 1152 (Book 1, chapter 6).

In Islam, the angels were created by Allah from light. They are neither male nor female.

The word for angel is malak (Allah’s messenger that conveys prophecies) and rasul (the

light of inspiration). They may assume different shapes but they have no free will as their

function is to serve Allah. Therefore there are and cannot be any fallen angels. In addition

to angels, Islam has jinns that are spirits of a lower order.

The angels in Islam do, however, have an important function as the Koran was dictated

by the angels to Muhammad, the last prophet. The hierarchy is close to the Christian one,

but more mystical, as angels could come in winds and clouds. The angels also keep track

of humans’ deeds. Some angels are permanently next to Allah’s throne and their function

is to praise Him. The tawáf, when the pilgrims circumambulate the Kaaba seven times in

a counterclockwise direction during Hajj, is paying homage to the angelic tawáf. Most of

the names of the angels are the same as in Christianity and Judaism, but there are also

angels such as the blue-eyed black angels Munki and Nakír that examine the recent dead

to see if they are worthy of a place in Paradise.

4. Spatial implications for the angelic

Visual presentations of angels in late medieval Christian iconography usually relate to

altarpieces, sometimes in many different sections. These altarpieces very often relate

simultaneously to narratives from the Scriptures. The central panel in the triptych usually

depicts the main focus or theme of the religious allegory; this was amplified in the

secondary themes, the side panels that could narrate an earlier or later Biblical story in

relation to the dramatis personae or legend of the altarpiece. The timeframes of the

different panels in relation to each other illustrate an allegorical narrative that may

otherwise seem chronologically illogical when viewed in relation to one another. The

paintings depicting the Celestial Hierarchies allowed painters to work on perspective and

to visualize large spaces.

5. Angels and music, the sacred in music

Angels seem always to have been associated with music in Christian iconography, might

be that there has been periods of debate about the functions and presence of music in the

different churches. It is quite common to hear music referred to as “the tongues of angels”

in Western history. Western paintings of angels from the Renaissance and Baroque

always seem to involve music, sound and even noise. Instruments like trumpets, zithers,

harps, tambourines, cymbals and viols, sometimes even organs are present in the

paintings, and the angels often carry swords, keys, crowns or canes.7

7 Edward Lucie-Smith: The Glory of Angels, p.54.

Page 12: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

The visualization of the angel during this period often seems to take the form of a fit ,

scantily-dressed or armored young man. There are also symbolic fires and clouds, light

and shining bodies and winged creatures clearly emitting loud sounds. During the

Renaissance, female angels and infant angels called putti entered the Christian

iconography.

In other words, the passages in the Bible and other scriptures illustrated in the paintings

more often communicate a frightening experience for the Biblical human figures

involved. It is important to note that many Renaissance paintings including angels and

music do not only depict a harmonious or consonant world, for many exist with angels as

warriors, indicating dissonance and cacophony. In the pictures depicting the Celestial

Hierarchies and visualizing music, the seraphim (“the burning ones”) and cherubim spend

their time singing and praising the Lord. These angels were in charge of the music of the

spheres that was not audible to the living. The seraphim singing “ Holy, holy, holy is the

Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory” (Isa.6:1-4) later entered the Jewish

liturgy as the Kedushah and subsequently became the Sanctus in the Christian Mass. The

harmony of the world was inaudible to the human ear and a substitute therefore had to be

found: music.

That said, the Protestant Reformers thought seriously about banning organs in churches

and the Council of Trent about banning music in church ceremonies. Trumpets (which

from a modern perspective I take to include trombones) always seemed to fare best as

they were very important in the standard account of the end of the world and the Last

Judgment. Hence, angels playing trumpets are not always associated with the heavenly

choir; they are also summoning sinners and calling the dead from their graves. Mathias

Grünewald’s famous Nativity panel in Isenheim (1512–1518) has a Concert of Angels

panel showing angels singing and playing stringed instruments, at a time when viols and

stringed instruments had no place in religious services. 8 Angels playing stringed

instruments are usually shown bringing consolation to humans.

6. Towards contemporary angels and rituals in music

Most Western music involving angels from the 19th and early 20th centuries naturally

takes the Romantic tradition as its reference, thus commenting on things from a Lutheran

or Catholic perspective. That Eastern European Orthodox Christianity did not use

instruments in services and liturgies implied that religious music had no place in the

Eastern European concert hall. The exotic was, however, slowly entering the theatre and

concert hall in Mozart’s time already, though more in operas than in works with Biblical

subjects involving or depicting angels. Haydn, in his oratorios Il Ritorno di Tobia (1774–

1775) and The Creation (1798) used archangels as narrators. In The Creation, Uriel

(tenor), Gabriel (soprano) and Rafael (bass) sing in recitatives, arias and ensembles. In

Mendelssohn’s Elijah (1846) the Prophet is visited by an angel. Mendelssohn follows the

same tradition as Bach and Handel, depicting angelic presence with dotted rhythms, as

was customary at that time. 9 (Another noteworthy scene in the oratorio is the angelic trio

“Lift thine eyes to the mountains”, which is sung a cappella.)

8 Rose-Marie and Rainer Hagen: What great paintings say, Vol 2, p. 127. 9 Wojciech Stepien: Signifying Angels, p.67.

Page 14: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

10

During the 18th and 19th centuries it also became common to associate higher

instruments, voices and registers with the angelic, the lower registers with the demonic.

Great virtuosity was usually referred to as demonic.

The late 19th century saw the invention of the celesta by Auguste Mendel in 1886, a

celestial (in French “céleste”) instrument. The early 20th century (1928) witnessed the

advent of the Ondes Martenot that Olivier Messiaen was to use in many of his major

works, such as the Trois petites liturgies de la presence divine, the Turangalîla symphony

and his opera Saint François d’Assise, with its strong angelic connotations.

The angelic seven trumpets encountered in the Last Judgment as St. John’s

announcement of the End of the World were occasionally interpreted as horns and

trombones. The trombone part in the Tuba Mirum in Mozart’s Requiem is well known.

What seems exciting, in retrospect, is that the 19th century, preoccupied with the

romantic and national, developed the layers of the angelic and especially the demonic in

opera, and the fantastic often found in tone poems as well as song. Composers like Liszt,

Boito and Berlioz embellished the angelic and demonic, and Dante’s angelic depictions

more than served as inspiration. Satan or Samiel is, on the other hand, explicitly present

in Weber’s Der Freischütz. Verdi takes a pragmatic but effective approach in depicting

angels in his Giovanna d’Arco (1845); the good angels sing “church music”, the bad ones

a variation of a Neapolitan bordello song. 10

11

The music of spheres, numerology and sacred geometry so often associated with the

angelic and so significant in Medieval and Renaissance art had to wait to the early 20th

century, the exotic non-Western layers even longer.

The vital question so often asked in Hindemith’s Mathis der Mahler symphony (1934),

and its first movement, Angelic Concert, is: why is the old German tune “Es sungen drei

Engel” orchestrated with three trombones and not the three singing viol players of the

famous picture?

7. Contemporary angels and rituals, modernism revisited

The young composers who went to Darmstadt for the first summer courses after World

War II grew up in a different world from that of the previous generation. New concepts

of harmony – twelve-tone music, sound and noise, advanced playing techniques,

electronics and musique concrète became part of the grammar of creation to contemplate.

Ideas were also borrowed from Eastern cultures and their religions, surrealist poetry,

language, different concepts of improvisation and time.

Most of the Western concert music so far heard had nearly always involved a Judeo-

Christian presentation of angels and related rituals. Turn-of-the-century Orientalism had

played with pentatonic material in operas by Puccini, and sensualism in Ravel’s

Shéhérazade ,whereas Judeo-Islamic subjects had played with a decadent symbolistic

notion of Orientalism. Strauss’s Salome is the prime example. The focus was, however,

on the sensuous and pictorial qualities.

Page 16: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

12

The renewed and now much more profound structural interest in Oriental music,

ethnomusicology and practices by the Darmstadt composers aroused new curiosity in

alternative tunings, harmonic stasis and different spiritual states in music. Pierre Boulez

ponders these things in his article “Oriental Music: A Lost Paradise”.11 Many of his

writings and works of that period clearly display a fascination for these non-Western

cultures. Karlheinz Stockhausen began to dwell on metaphysical aspects and the

perception of time in his writings and music.

Boulez’s teacher, the French Roman Catholic Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992), is perhaps

one of the 20th century composers who has dwelt most on theological ideas in his music

and is thus perhaps one of the most important composers of contemporary sacred music.

The components from which he created his musical language constitute a fascinating mix

of colorful Western and exotic influences.

Alex Ross speaks of Messiaen’s early sacred works as a sort of Christian surrealism.

Messiaen favored the lavish, the opulent and unashamedly grand, very far from the

stereotypical picture of French music. Some liturgical texts are written into the early

Three Small Liturgies with their openly erotic texts creating a love letter to God. 12 The

work in question created controversy in its own time and some critics commented that it

was like “an angel wearing lipstick”.

11 Pierre Boulez: Orientations, p. 421-426. 12 Alex Ross: The Rest is Noise, p. 450.

Page 17: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

13

Messiaen is well known for integrating birdsong into his music on a deeper structural

level than anyone ever before. Composers throughout history have imitated birds, mainly

nightingales (Jannequin, Couperin, Beethoven and Stravinsky, for example) in their

music. It is, however, important to note that the earlier composers’ uses of birdsong were

essays in the picturesque, their prime intention being to communicate a mood. For

Messiaen, they acquired a very different meaning.

The representation of the universe and nature, God’s creation, is central to Messiaen’s

language. Musically, birds assume focal significance for him, for he did not wish to

suggest pictorial elements like water, wind and the like in his music. He gladly left that

to the composers adopting electronics and other modern techniques. Representing water

or wind in music would, for a Frenchman, be like venturing into Debussy’s most revered

area of musical poetry. In this context, birds become musical messengers, singing of

God’s creation of the Earth with music not unlike that of angels. Messiaen often spoke of

“God’s musicians” when talking of birds.13

It is exciting to observe Messiaen as an example of a creative artist, obsessed with lists

and cataloging and explaining his own oeuvre. For Umberto Eco, he would be the

ultimate Cabinet of Curiosities composer; an artist who gives each sonorous object he

creates a symbolic significance in the imaginary library he builds. The reader of the

excellent book of discussions with Claude Samuel is impressed by the amount of detail in

Messiaen, later listing with exhausting exactitude his travels and performances of each

work. And this was a composer of considerable international fame. Whether the reasons

are humble gratitude towards the performers or wounded pride – both are understandable.

14

The writings in which he explains his musical techniques are equally immense.

8. Messiaen and Schoenberg: two worlds, one question

Messiaen was 36 in 1944 when he wrote his Technique of My Musical Language and in

this respect outdid Schoenberg, who was 37 when he wrote his Harmonielehre. (Rameau

wrote his Treatise on Harmony at the age of 39.)

One characteristic quality and device in Messiaen’s music is his suspension of the sense

of time. Many of his works have titles or movements that refer to time. In the late 1930s

and early 1940s he introduced a new attitude to music as non-beginning: unending,

eternal and beyond time. This is very evident in the works with “Louange” (Praise)

movements and is a means to depict the “eternal” place where time does not exist. His

harmony often operates in a non-progressive state where neither tension nor relaxation

exists. Many of his works have an explicit ritualistic quality that refers to Western

theological ideas but could in fact be said to draw their primal inspiration from oriental

concepts.

Messiaen’s theological universe is, however, very different from Schoenberg’s. His

treatise has sometimes been considered a reaction to Schoenberg’s publication. With

regard to composition, their universes might seem far removed from one another on a

technical level but they converge around one central poetical question to be solved in

relation to faith: how to convey God’s presence in music? For Schoenberg, God was

unrepresentable, for the nature lover Messiaen present everywhere. Schoenberg was a

skeptic who converted to Lutheranism and later back to Judaism, while Messiaen was

Page 19: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

15

from childhood a firm Catholic believer and a French Mediaevalist who loved the

colorful rose windows in cathedrals. Schoenberg’s career seems like a skeptic’s endless

search for confirmation of faith and unity, whereas Messiaen’s is a highly sensuous

affirmation of his faith. Schoenberg the numerologist focuses in his magnum opus Moses

und Aron on the philosophical conception of God, Moses’s new radical vision of a

“infinite.. omnipresent … inconceivable God” that creates a clash with the Israelites’

wish for a visible and material God to worship. Messiaen the catalogist, on the other hand,

transcribes birds and searches for musical reliquaries and objects from diverse cultures to

be placed next to one another in his tableaux vivants celebrating God’s creation. With his

Catalogue d’oiseaux of the 1950s Messiaen shows himself as a montage artist. Boulez

talks about Messiaen as an eclectic reformer.

Moses und Aron can be seen as Schoenberg’s own journey around the issue of whether

twelve-tone serialism, as a technique, could sustain such a big concept as a full-length

opera. In one way, the opera is a 20th century Gesamtkunstwerk that starts not very

unlike Wagner’s Tristan, presenting the musical nucleus of the work right at the

beginning. In Wagner’s case it is the Tristan motif, in Schonberg’s, the row. The melodic

shape of the row is first established when Aron enters. Schoenberg works with the idea of

the “infinite” or unfathomable with the six unseen voices singing trichords that open the

opera. When God reveals himself to Moses with the burning bush, he does so via the

timbral representation of spoken female, male and children’s voices. The abstract God is,

in other words, presented as a timbrally diverse, multi-layered entity.

Page 20: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

16

In Schoenberg’s other large religious work focusing on rebirth, the other unfinished

oratorio Die Jakobsleiter (displaying certain influences of Swedenborgian mysticism,

Balzac and Strindberg) we encounter the Archangel Gabriel (baritone) and, to name just a

few, dramatis personae leading the discussion with the chosen one, doubters and a monk.

Moses und Aron does not have this concrete presence from the divine realm on stage, but

it is important to note that Moses is an opera not an oratorio, though it may originally

have started as an oratorio.

Messiaen’s magnum opus is Saint Francois d’Assise, premiered in Paris in 1983. This

four-hour opera is scored for an enormous cast: a choir of 150, an orchestra of 110 and 9

singers. When it became known that Messiaen was working on an opera in the late 1970s,

this in itself already seemed impossible. Very few of his works had so far dealt concretely

with earthly affairs, “sur place”, so to say, or had a clear linear narrative. How would

Messiaen’s imagination work with earthly things and concrete scenic action?

Almost all the works by Messiaen with an explicit theological interest are instrumental:

no words appear apart from in the title and prefaces. Of his 48 works, 24 have titles that

refer to Biblical, theological or liturgical themes, and of these, four have settings of

words. 14

It does not come as a surprise that Messiaen’s original dream was, after receiving the

commission, to write a scenical Passion or a Resurrection of Christ, but he was not

certain that the subject could be represented on stage. The theme of Saint Francis was

14 Peter Hill: Messiaen Companion, p.235.

Page 21: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

17

therefore a natural choice for a lover of nature and birds who played the viol and was the

most Christ-like of all humans.

The scenical action is minimal. The libretto, by Messiaen himself, is no longer than 12

pages, even though the opera consists of three acts and eight scenes and it could be

described as a mystery play about “the progress of divine grace in a human soul”. Saint

Francis could be said to follow the tradition of the transformative Tristan-like inner

development narrative. As a librettist, Messiaen focuses on giving himself a full

opportunity for colorful orchestration. In Tableaux 5,” the Sermon to the Birds”, Saint

Francis sings:

“Where the leaves are red, the pigeons green, the trees white, where the sea changes

from green to blue and from violet to green like the reflections in an opal.”

Opera was clearly a difficult genre for Messiaen. His colorful surreal techniques of

working with themes, lists of musical objects and sharp juxtapositions now had to be

structured around a linear dramatic narrative, whether it would happen on stage or

poetically in the orchestra. He does not introduce many new elements into his musical

language; Saint Francis is about converging all symbolistic signifiers and lists in his

polystylistic universe, in a more grandiose way than ever before.

Angels have always been central players in Messiaen’s musical iconography. The Quartet

for the End of Time was written in homage of the Angel of the Apocalypse. It is also the

work where birds start to acquire an important function in Messiaen’s oeuvre. In Saint

Francis, the only female solo voice is that of the Angel.

Messiaen’s numerous birds and the presence of the angels, their symbolical significance,

especially side by side, can sometimes be a little difficult to identify and trace, especially

as informal commentaries exist by Messiaen and Yvonne Loriod talking around birds as

“God’s musicians and messengers”. In Catholic iconography this could imply that

Messiaen is depicting angels, as they are often associated with music and with being

messengers. In the case of birds, the role of each one transcribed at each stated moment,

its placement in a work is of central importance for Messiaen. The symbolism associated

with them also changed at many stages during his career; sometimes they were Oriental,

sometimes Christian, sometimes their function was to create a montage of birdsongs from

dawn to day. At a later stage different works became musical libraries, or as Malraux

would say “ imaginary museums” of cataloging trips to different countries and continents.

(Sometimes exoticism could, however, be handled locally; the birds in Oiseaux Exotiques

were found in the Jardin de Plantes in Paris.15) To gather material for Saint Francis,

Messiaen nevertheless travelled as far as New Caledonia. 41 birds sing in Saint Francis,

83 different species in the Transfiguration de Notre-Seigneur Jésus-Christ. In Et expecto

resurrectionem mortuorum just one bird is heard, in the third movement. The Amazonian

Uirapurú here represents the voice of Christ announcing the time of the Resurrection. (In

Amazonia the Uirapurú is reputed to be heard at the moment of death.) In Saint Francis

the Gerygone, a New Caledonian warbler, functions as the Angel’s signature bird. In

other words, the different actors have individual birds assigned to them in the opera

(sometimes more than one), but they also have additional leitmotivs attached to them that

are not transcribed from birdsong.

Signification-wise the solo birds and their placement are always thought out in the utmost

detail, and the same applies to the large choruses of birds in Messiaen’s output. The

famous concert of the birds in Tableaux 6 constitutes the technical virtuosic climax of his

“style oiseaux”. He creates in it a masterful sonic canvas of birds that otherwise would

never geographically meet or sing together, becoming that ethereal global village choir

the Saint comments on in his dream vision. Do these choirs, executing simultaneous

complex polyphony in which the separate identities of the transcriptions become nearly

impossible to recognize, become Messiaen’s colorful sonic paintings of abundance? Do

the birds transform symbolically into “angelic choirs”?

Saint Francis sings: “He allowed you to sing so wonderfully that you speak without words,

like the locution of angels, by means of music.”

(St. Francis in Tableau 6, The Sermon to the Birds)

Considering Messiaen’s exactitude with birds, it is surprising how few statements there

are about his angelic iconography. The Celestial Hierarchies, the angels and their

functions would seem a perfect way of working with layers of signification in music.

With time, Messiaen’s treatment of birds as messengers and choirs does, however, seem

to acquire angelic qualities beyond the possible accurate transcription. It is as if he has

taken the whole structure of Celestial Hierarchies found in Aquinas and created an

architectural construction where the different birds could rest and sing.

Messiaen himself stated that the marriage of the celestial and the terrestrial realms had a

central function in his magnum opus. These hierarchies or layers of the different realms

in the opera can be called 16:

The divine realm The Angel Birds Francis The human realm

The divine and human realms are represented by the choir; when visible on stage, they

are human, when humming or intended not to be seen, they represent the divine, its

impact on human life and as Christ’s word. Messiaen’s solution for presenting the divine

is in fact very much like Schoenberg’s in Moses. The other friars in the opera do, of

course, count as humans. Francis and the Angel, the main protagonists, are juxtaposed.

The mortal Francis aspires to imitate God’s Son, whereas the Angel represents the eternal

realm but assumes human form. In the scene “Angel musician” the Angel plays celestial

music on his viol to Francis, also known as a viol player. For this “angelic music” scene

Messiaen creates some of his most lyrical and refined moments of orchestration: three

Ondes Martenot playing in different places with the heavenly humming choir as

resonance. As with Hindemith (in the overture to Mathis der Mahler depicting the angelic

concert), the heavenly music played by the Angel on his viol is not realized with the

actual instrument in question.

21

In the opera, the birds occupy a central intermediary position, and one third of the music

is in one way or another assigned to them. Sublimated birdsong here symbolically

represents music as such.17 Once Saint Francis has heard the Angel musician play and

become initiated in the celestial mysteries, he is able to understand the language of the

birds and thus to communicate with them in the scene “Sermon to the Birds”.

The Angel could best be described as a polystylistic creature in Messiaen’s universe.

Messiaen wanted the Angel to be portrayed in the initial production like Fra Angelico’s

famous paintings, just as he wanted its body language to follow the traditions of a

Japanese Noh actor. The Angel themes – the Gerygone with high winds and the sharp,

fast glissando that announces the angels’ arrival – are gesturally very Japanese.

Messiaen told Claude Samuel the following about the Angel:

All religious painting is based on symbolic conventions; the same goes for the stained glass of the Middle Ages. I myself had to conform to these symbolic conventions since I put an angel on the stage in my Saint François d’Assise. Pure spirits, angels, are invisible, but I adopted the customary iconographic system: I imagined a magnificent being, neither man nor woman, a winged being dressed in a long robe. That’s a symbolic convention.18

9. Stockhausen’s Global Village

Messiaen’s religious universe, full of numerology, catalogues and cosmology, seems in

the long run not to have influenced many of his pupils, with the exception of Karlheinz

Stockhausen, who briefly studied with him in Paris in 1952–1953, a year when Messiaen

extensively analyzed Mozart in his class. Messiaen had at that time just finished the 17 Siglind Bruhn: Messiaen´s Interpretations of Holiness and Trinity, p. 175. 18 Claude Samuel: Conversations with Messiaen, p. 28.

Page 26: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

22

“Mode de valeurs et d’intensités” Stockhausen had encountered in Darmstadt and the

“Messe de la Pentecote”. (The Turangalîla symphony had been premiered with Leonard

Bernstein in Boston in December 1949.) In summer 1951 audiences at Darmstadt had a

first time chance to hear music from Schoenberg’s opera Moses und Aron, namely the

large scene “Der Tanz um das goldene Kalb” in the second act. The young generation

had an opinion on the premiere: “C’est du Verdi sériel” ( It is serial Verdi) .19

Stockhausen’s studies with Messiaen are not very often commented upon , as many of his

French students have seemed like his natural torchbearers, continuing their teacher’s

colorful and sensuous universe. What is forgotten is that Messiaen and Stockhausen

shared the same Catholic faith . Stockhausen was raised a devout Catholic, he however

later renounced organized religion in the 1960s. The last page of his masterpiece Gruppen

for three orchestras of 1957 carries the words Deo Gratias (Thanks be to God), which is a

response that occurs three times in the Latin Mass and in the Breviary and in Catholic

prayers. Stockhausen states his relation to religion later on:

“ The content of my pieces has always been religious, not just in those works with religious texts. The transcendental character was and is always there. “ 20 Antiphonal and spatial strategies in music that seem to have been used earlier mostly in

Renaissance liturgical music inspired by sacred geometry suddenly become a central

theme for many composers to explore in 1950ies, with either ensembles or electronics.

One of the most eye-opening works in this context, from the mid-20th century and

23

bordering on the angelic, is Stockhausen’s Gesang der Jünglinge (Song of Praise of the

Three Youths or Song of the Youths) of 1956, in which a young boy soprano is recorded

reciting and singing the story from the Third Book of Daniel. It is the same canticle as

that heading Messiaen’s “Communion” from the Messe de la Pentecote of 1950, in which

birdsong occupies a central role.

In the story King Nebuchadnezzar II throws the young men Shadrach, Meshach, and

Abednego into a Fiery Furnace because they refuse to worship a golden idol. They

remain unharmed and continue to praise the Lord. In some interpretations of the story

they are joined by the Archangel Michael.

Stockhausen regarded his work as a sacred mass. He had intended it as a Mass for

electronic sounds to be premiered in Cologne Cathedral, but the Church authorities

deemed loudspeakers inappropriate for the church and he transformed his initial concept

into a non-liturgical religious work. Originally it was realized as a five channel tape piece

but later transferred to four channels. (Some interpretations claim that Stockhausen

included an explicit extra musical message in the Mass; the parable of the three young

men would/could in fact be understood as Boulez, Nono and himself dealing with public

incomprehension of their groundbreaking innovations.21 )

The 13-minute musical parable about keeping the faith turns out to be anticipatory of

Stockhausen’s later formal strategies and ambitions involving text and voice in

composition (and hence theatre, too) and ways of combining vocal- and electronically-

21 Robin Maconie : Other planets, p. 166.

24

produced sounds. In Gesang Stockhausen has chosen eleven Biblical verses and the

crucial “Preiset den Herrn” (“Praise ye the Lord”) segment functions here as a refrain to

be repeated as if by the Catholic congregation, or not unlike a Hesychastic liturgical

prayer in the Eastern Orthodox religion. The phrase also becomes an element that

articulates different sections of the work, in between Stockhausen’s synthetic electronic

fire. The text is, of course, put through numerous articulations and permutations (telbju,

lebtuj, jubelt, blujet, etc.) that work on such levels as word, syllable, phoneme and

sequence, to name just a few. This also means that there are numerous fluid transitions

from verbal to musical meaning, and vice versa.

Serialism and the structural organization of music reached their peak in the late 1950s,

and Gesang is one of the decisive masterpieces from this era as regards the achievement

of a layered polyphony of the different systems of generating pitch, time structure,

timbres and spatialisation in one and the same piece.

With Gesang, Stockhausen took a leading position in the avant-garde, though not so

evident at that stage was maybe that the same applied to him as a contemporary religious,

spiritual and mystic composer. In the following decade, as stated earlier, Stockhausen

abandoned the Catholic faith and started to investigate the global village of religions and

musics from different parts of the world. He was at this period a forerunner of

experimentalism, a researcher concerned with music’s spiritual origins and social

relevance, an intellectual and intuitive visionary, a practical musician who conjured up

visions by poetry and dreams. Where Stockhausen went, the audience usually followed,

Page 29: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

25

masterpieces were created and so were polemical intuitive works that divided audiences.

This period also witnessed Stockhausen´s extensive travels in the East, including the

six-month stint in the spherical auditorium of the German Pavilion in Osaka during the

1970 World Fair, where nearly a million people had a chance to experience his cosmic

music.

Stockhausen had been to Japan for the first time in 1966, and as with Messiaen, Japanese

culture, Noh theatre, gagaku and shomyo temple music and the expanded Oriental time-

scale came to have a large impact on him.

There is something messianic about all the composers of Stockhausen’s generation; they

are there to create a new world order with the potential of new technology. Turning

nostalgically back to the esthetic would associated with the World War II would not have

been an easy option for a young mid-European composer at that stage. Taking this into

account, it is exciting to try to trace their initial impulses.

The Stockhausen specialist Robert Maconie quotes Hermann Hesse’s novel Das

Glasperlenspiel (The Glass Bead Game) and its main character Joseph Knecht as a

central influence for Stockhausen. According to Maconie, the book came as a spiritual

revelation and prophecy for the young Stockhausen about his own role as a composer and

innovator.22 In the book, Hesse imagines a future in which music has become the most

refined and universal expression of human thought. The game itself seems to be an

22 Robin Maconie : Other planets, p. 22.

Page 30: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

26

amalgam of everything from plainchant, rosary, abacus, medieval disputation, astronomy,

chess and I Ching, to name just a few.

Contemplating now, many decades later, the origins of the Licht cycle written between

1977 and 2003, Hesse’s Magister Ludi and his world seem very far away, but Maconie

certainly has a point.

In its entirety, the Licht cycle of operas comes across as a monumental Renaissance

masque, liturgical drama or myths narrated in medieval altar panels with different scenes

presenting and contemplating questions that Stockhausen has envisaged, traumatically

experienced during World War II or reacted to in contemporary life. Some scenes, such

as Lucifer’s Dance in Samstag aus Licht (Saturday of Light) seems not far removed from

a scene from Fritz Lang’s famous Metropolis. Another scene, Jahreslauf, that originated

for a gagaku orchestra and dancers in Tokyo but later became the first item in Licht,

follows a ritualistic structure of four temptations and incitements preceded by entrance

music. The first act of Donnerstag, about the youth of the main protagonist Michael,

stands out as a self-referential tableau of Stockhausen’s own troubled childhood.

Talking about Licht as an opera poses problems. The whole poetical form of Licht can be

seen as a multi-layered installation and collage of symbolic meanings and theatrical

traditions that draw inspiration from numerous religious and philosophical sources,

placing events and processes at different stages of the cycle. If the cycle is ever

performed in its entirety, it may begin with any day, and it will need several theatres as

different acts are, even in one and the same opera, intended for performance in different

Page 31: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

27

spaces. Thematically, Licht deals as a work explicitly with the otherworldly. It does not

comply with the narrative processes usually found in literary operas with conventional

librettos. For example, Stockhausen talks about Samstag as the opera preoccupied with

the dramaturgy of death as a catastrophe. Another way to discuss the opera would be to

talk about it as a prolonged Requiem. The text to the fourth and last scene, “Lucifer’s

farewell”, is in fact St. Francis’s Lodi delle virtù (Hymn to the Virtues).

Stockhausen had earlier used dancer mimes in his Inori. In Licht, the three main

protagonists are presented in a threefold way: each as a singer, musician and dancer. The

Archangel, psychopomp and creator Michael is represented by a trumpet, Eve by a basset

horn and the fallen angel Lucifer by a trombone. The trumpet is Michael’s means of

leading humanity to God. That Stockhausen decided to name his whole cycle around light

gives Licht a very strong symbolic connection to Islam, as Allah created his angels from

light.

10. Rituals today

What is fascinating in contemporary works dealing with angels and rituals is more often

than not their totemic, almost monumental qualities. Writing them seems, for their

composers, to have been a significant and conscious undertaking. Placing the works

earlier discussed side by side, starting with Schoenberg, Messiaen and Stockhausen, it is

nevertheless possible to trace certain trends; the majority of those including voices or

scenic action seem to use text and poetry for their own ritualistic purposes. Schoenberg´s

Moses und Aron is, in this light, the last opera in which the problems conveyed in the text

and narrative are the key protagonist or agenda of the scenic action. (It is also important

Page 32: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

28

to note that all three composers were their own librettists of the works mentioned.) With

Stockhausen’s Licht we have finally abandoned Judeo-Christian mythology and

mysticism as the only spiritual referential network; Stockhausen’s rituals and time

concept belong to a spiritual agenda in which he sees all religions and their musics as

different dialects, whereas Messiaen works within a strict Catholic referential framework

of symbols in his magnum opus, and the music is in fact polystylistic mosaic of

influences and sonic objects from different cultures. The libretto of Saint Francis builds a

semiotic canvas full of lists, returning quests, numerological ratios and prayers to which

Messiaen can react. In Mittwoch (Wednesday), Stockhausen goes further; he invents a

whole new linguistic system, a new language with a grammar, syntax, rhetoric and

dialects. For him, the formal processes related to worship and rituals assume primal

significance. What is often complex and disturbing with Stockhausen is the way he

combines high and low, and juxtaposes religious artifacts from different cultures.

Composers dealing with angelic themes as a source of inspiration from the 1960s

onwards often seem very eclectic in their choice of religious heritage; their angels are

often hybrids of many cultures. Composers like Rautavaara, Tavener and Harvey, to

mention just a few, all seem to draw on the global musical heritage to which they have

access, very often so that the presence of ritualistic percussion comes from non-Western

cultures juxtaposed with Western plainchant; George Crumb’s Black Angels plays with

numerology and quotations, Rautavaara opts for Rilke’s Islamic masculine angels, and

Harvey is strongly inspired by Buddhism. Lists and prayers work as central structural

devices, and even unbelievers like Boulez model their large works on religious rituals

(Répons and Rituel).

Sir Harrison Birtwistle’s opera The Mask of Orpheus of the 1980s works with invented

language, ritual, circles of returning questions as well as different auras or soundscapes of

electronic music depicting different time layers in the myth. It can be considered one of

the central operas dealing with rituals as formal devices on stage. The main roles,

Orpheus, the alchemist of music, and his muse Euridice are presented simultaneously

on stage as singer, mime and puppet, not totally unlike the protagonists in Licht. For

Birtwistle, the main criterion in choosing the dramatic subjects in all his operas has been

the formal musico-dramatic structures they can generate, often so that he has sought the

myth that best complies with the formal musical ambitions he wishes to accentuate. Over

the past decade he has ventured strongly into Christian mythology, with works like The

Angel Fighter and the Io Passion. Steve Reich and Mark Andre have, on the other hand,

recorded and analysed acoustics and noise in sacred spaces for their compositions.

(Mark Andre speaks of “acoustic photographs” of the Sultan Ahmet Mosque and Hagia

Eirene in Istanbul in relation to his “üg”.)

11. “The Anatomy of Angels: A”, composing a catalogue in space, notes towards a

strategy beyond religion

The name of my own work related to the research topic of the current paper can be

derived from Damien Hirst’s “Anatomy of an Angel” of 2008, a Carrara marble sculpture

based on Alfred Boucher’s sculpture L’Hirondelle (1920). In Hirst’s version different

sections of the sculpture show the anatomical structure of the angel beneath the skin, thus

taking a strong stance in showing the angel as a feminine human being. Choosing the

plural of the title as the name of the piece seems most logical as Hirst is, if anything, an

Page 34: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

30

artist working with the Baroque thematicism of visual lists, catalogues and reliquaries,

yet seen from a modern historical context and using modern materials. (Damien Hirst was

raised Catholic.) Much of his art deals with building large art-pieces with existing

artifacts, as his minimalistic Medical Cabinets, or dead animals in formaldehyde that

end up as pieces with fantastical baroque-like titles. As a artist he is more of a collage

artist arranging existing things in suprising ways instead of a inventor creating new. It is

too interesting to note that at certain stage in his career he seriously considered

becoming a curator instead of an artist. 23

My choral work in progress lists 59 names of Christian, Islamic and Hebrew angels

starting with A as the text for the piece found in Umberto Eco’s book about lists. (A full

list of all the angels in Eco’s list would amount to around 440 names. The fallen angels

constitute a different list.) The poetic material for the work is, in other words, extremely

sparse but full of significations (Abdizuel, Abriel, Adan, Adnachiel, Adonael, Adriel,

Ahayah, Aihel, Akaiah…, etc.) Each angel has, of course, a multitude of functions

depending on the referential religion in question; sometimes there is even a multitude of

interpretations to choose from within just one of the three religions. Cataloguing and

trying to depict all their differing angelic history in music would be dramaturgically very

difficult to articulate in a continuous piece, though they obviously present a multitude of

possible solutions for creating textures, proportions, form and structure. It is, however,

important to remember here that the hierarchy chosen for the list is alphabetical and does

not correspond to any internal angelic hierarchy in any of the three religions. That said a

poem, text or list can be composed though in a clear perceptible or disguised manner.

23 Francesco Bonami: Damien Hirst Relics, p.21.

31

The work is scored for three vocal quartets (soprano,alto,tenor, bass) in space; one in the

middle with the others on the left and right of the audience thus creating the potential for

a multitude of antiphonal effects used in Catholic repetitive prayers and Islamic rotating

rituals in space. To the left of the vocal quartet on the stage is one percussionist and a

trumpet, to the right a trombone and a percussionist. The instruments all, as discussed

earlier, have in music a strong ritualistic connotation. The singers are, furthermore,

assigned different percussion instruments. These different groupings in space give

opportunity to distribute evenly both high and low registers in space, equally create echo

like situations reminiscent of the early renaissance Venetian cori spezzati, not to

mention Luigi Nono´s choral output and the late Prometeo, the ultimate masterpiece of

spatial music.

The clarity of the narrative and the word painting of the text have seldom been important

in the genre of spatial, polyphonic choral works, as other layers have often been of

higher strategic importance. The freedom the material suggests here seems not far from

the medieval motet during the thirteenth and early fourteenth century where different

religious and amorous texts and plainchant collided on top of each other making the

perceptible clarity of the text not an important factor. Focusing on the angels starting

with A will provide vocally a clear dominant color in itself with regard to vowels and

articulation, giving the whole work an open, resonant character. Most of the names

include many vowels and the transitions to other vowels can be assigned a strong

dramaturgical significance, as can the sonic quality of the more percussive consonants.

32

Restricting oneself only to angels starting with A means, dramaturgically, that the

hierarchically important Archangels will not be included, though the Islamic angel of

death Azrail is present in the list. Arael, on the other hand, is the patron of birds. A few

of the names permit diverse interpretations of their functions, depending on which

religion one wants to refer to. The angels have symbolic associations with various

elements and materials (such as wind, fire and metal) and hence suggestive of sounds and

repetitive gestures that lend themselves to possible layered textures not unlike the sonic

auras that Birtwistle has in his Orphic opera. The associative and symbolic references

of each given angel, where they are placed according to different Celestial Hierarchies,

their lunar positions etc. gives numerous possibilities for building a structural, spatial

grid of events to unfold with chords, and polyphonic, even colliding textures in space,

not to forget allegorical quotations for a composer to work through in the slow

unfolding procession in time presenting the names of the angels .

Choosing a list of names as a text for a vocal piece is to build the form of a piece with a

succession of fragments as a list is not a prayer nor a poem that generates a linear

dramaturgy with its emotional highs and lows. A list of names in music can be a

succession of musical objects or sonic footnotes of non-linearly conceived events, that

either flow smoothly into each other, or cut or collide with each other sharply.

Should these sonic footnotes and the actual recited or sung names of the angels unfold

simultaneously or like rotating spheres in different speeds ?

Jonathan Harvey’s late masterpiece Messages (2007) for large choir and orchestra,

including a cimbalom, is based on the names of 144 Jewish and Persian angels. It lasts 25

Page 37: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

33

minutes, literally giving an average of 9 seconds per angel; this might, of course, be an

estimate of the overall tempo and spacing. The harmonic rhythm is slow, with the choir

creating a lush, slowly-breathing rhythm as it announces the names of the angels to be

embellished by the orchestra, percussion and cimbalom. Harvey does not set out to

accentuate the different angels and their mythology, but rather to create a unitary whole

inspired by Eastern spirituality and stasis.

Writing, or even contemplating a piece consisting of names that have diverse

significations in three major religions poses however for me a multi-perspectival

challenge, not least because the role of music has, throughout its history, differed greatly

in the three religions in question. Writing for choir and ensemble is already an obvious

Western choice, from a Judeo-Islamic standpoint. In addition, a spatial choir piece will

almost certainly get most performances in Christian churches or spaces.

There are, however, some common denominators for finding a strategy for the encounter

of different religions and their angels: one is the sacred place, the temple. It is significant

to note that many religious places of worship (Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, the Temple in

Jerusalem) have for thousands years suited more than one of the monotheistic religions.

Places and spaces of worship have often implied layered histories and, from a musical

standpoint, long decays and drones – qualities that are important especially in Sephardic

and Islamic music. (The time period referentially most interesting for a composer today

in this context is the Islamic Iberia, Al Andalus with its Mozarabic liturgies and

microtonal inflections.) When it comes to the rapid development of sacred European

architecture we usually forget that it triggered daring spatial experiments, in music, and

Page 38: Tombeau pour New York for 19 players · Tombeau pour New York for 19 players ... Oliver Messiaen and ... Another well-known visual equivalent of the technique in question would be

34

often vocal for many centuries. It is in fact quite a new tendency that nearly everything

in music performance happens solely on stage. During the last centuries, when music has

mostly abandoned the spatial it is fascinating to see that so much of music contemplating

these issues seem to have a strong relation to the subjects discussed.

It is very unlikely my piece in progress will be the last pondering all these questions.
