Olivier Messiaen (1908–1992) was a prominent French composer, organist, and ornithologist, known for his complex rhythms and innovative harmonic language. He developed a system called modes of limited transposition, and wrote a variety of works for ensembles, orchestras, vocal music, and solo instruments. Influenced by diverse musical styles, including Japanese music and nature, Messiaen often incorporated bird songs into his compositions. He studied at the Paris Conservatory and taught there, leaving a significant legacy through his students and his unique musical exploration.
