In act I, scene 2 of Shakespeare's Hamlet, one of the key themes presented is the theme of order versus disorder. Gertrude's hasty marriage to Claudius and their lack of grief over the recent death of King Hamlet violate Hamlet's sense of order and are the cause of Hamlet's anger and despair in 1.2. Rather than contrast Hamlet with his uncle and mother, Olivier constructs an Oedipal relationship between Hamlet and Gertrude--unsupported by the text--that undermine's the characterization of Hamlet as a man of order. In contrast, Tony Richardson presents Claudius' and Gertrude's actions as a violation of the order in which Hamlet believes.

Messiaen studied many special compositional traits in his life. Modes of limited transpositions, rhythm, and birdsong are the most special and important. Catholicism is the first thought of Messiaen¡¦s works. The inspiration of Messiaen¡¦s creation, the structure of works, and the picture of music are all closed related to Catholicism. Vingt Regards sur L¡¦Enfant-Jesus is the only one piano solo work of Messiaen¡¦s religious works. This thesis mainly discuss the three principle themes¡XTheme de Dieu, Theme de L¡¦Etoile et de la Croix, and Theme D¡¦Accords¡X to realize the specific application that Messiaen use modes of limited transpositions, rhythm, birdsong, and Catholicism religious concept in his works. This thesis divided into two chapters. The first chapter presents briefly the life and the compositional traits of Messiaen. In second chapter, it discusses the development of the three themes, including modes, rhythm, shape of phrase, dynamic, and speed.

Esta tese parte da premissa de que, na tradição da musica ocidental escrita, a performance restitui a obra musical ao tempo e o intérprete, responsável por esse processo, deve compreender profundamente as temporalidades propostas pela obra para, assim, planejar criteriosamente o fluxo dos seus eventos. Para isso, é necessário que o processo de construção interpretativa se desenvolva em simultaneidade e constante diálogo com dados decorrentes do estudo analítico da obra estudada e da percepção estésica do intérprete que, em sua prática diária, projeta e avalia em si mesmo o efeito pretendido. Com base nesse modelo, foi realizado um estudo interpretativo e analítico de Cantéyodjayâ para piano de Olivier Messiaen, compositor que, por meio de sua obra musical, seus textos teóricos e sua atividade pedagógica, teve importante impacto nas discussões a respeito do tempo na música do século XX. O primeiro capítulo da tese, Cantéyodjayâ contextualizada, posiciona Cantéyodjayâ no contexto da obra de Messiaen, especialmente no que se refere ao período de experimentação no qual se insere. O segundo capítulo, No princípio era o ritmo: o tempo musical em Messiaen, trata dos conceitos filosóficos e teológicos que apoiaram o pensamento rítmico-temporal em Messiaen e suas correspondências com procedimentos composicionais adotados pelo compositor. O terceiro capítulo, Análise e construção interpretativa em Cantéyodjayâ, apresenta o estudo analítico de Cantéyodjayâ articulado a decisões interpretativas. Compuseram a fundamentação deste capítulo os textos teóricos do compositor, em especial Technique de mon langage musical (1944) e Traité de rythme, de couleur et d’ornithologie (1994), articulados a conceitos apresentados por autores como J. Kramer (1988), W. Berry (1997) e J. Straus (2005). / This thesis assumes that performance brings a musical score to life by presenting it in real time. The performer – who is in charge of this process – must understand the complex relationships between rhythm and conceptual pacing of a particular work in order to plan the flow of events. Threrefore, the interpretive construction must be constantly supported by data from both the analytical investigation and the aesthetic perception. The performer in his daily practice designs the desired effect and evalutes the outcome. Based on this notion, an interpretive and analytical study was done about Cantéyodjayâ by Olivier Messiaen, a composer whose compositional output, theoretical writings and pedagogical activities have impacted the concept of time in the twentieth century music. The first chapter of this thesis, Cantéyodjayâ contextualizada, contextualizes Cantéyodjayâ in the entire oeuvre of Messiaen, especially within his experimental period. The second chapter, No princípio era o ritmo: o tempo musical em Messiaen, deals with philosophical and theological concepts based in Messiaen’s rhythmic thought, as well as its connections to the compositional procedures adopted by Messiaen. The third chapter, Análise e construção interpretativa em Cantéyodjayâ, presents an analytical study of Cantéyodjayâ linked to the interpretive choices. This last chapter is based on Messiaen’s theoretical writings, especially Technique de mon langage musical (1944) and Traité de rythme, de couleur et d’ornithologie (1994); it is also connected to the concepts presented by J. Kramer (1988), W. Berry (1997) e J. Straus (2005).

The general attribute of Olivier Messiaen´s music is not only his specific musical language, which experiments with time, rhythm, colour, finds inspiration in birdsong, Gregorian chant and music of the exotic lands, but mainly the existence of a non-musical message. The first part of my thesis is introductory. It includes the description of Messiaen´s life and early musical influences, the nature of his musical style, his general musical aims, and an overview of his most important works. In the centre of my effort is the thematic analysis of Messiaen´s late organ cycle Méditations sur le Mystère de la Sainte Trinité (Meditations on the Mystery of the Holy Trinity). That is preceded with an introduction of the background of the piece, sources of inspiration and symbolism used. The main aim is to explore the complexity of Messiaen´s musical and thematic thinking, and to understand the message of the musical material.

This diploma thesis deals with a prominent French composer, organist and pedagogue Olivier Messiaen and his organ works. The first part of the thesis brings relevant biographic information on the composer, overview of his works, compositional inspiration and specifies facets and components of Messiaens?s musical language (rhythm, harmony, melody, forms). In the following part, the focus of the thesis shifts to organ works: not merely to composition techniques but primarily to more thorough analysis of particular sheet music ? not however from the traditional musical-analytic perspective, but rather from outside-of-music, often theological context. The main goal of the thesis is to gain an insight into the core of Messiaens?s composition techniques, inspirations and motivations through the understanding of his music language as well as his life and philosophical perspectives. Uniqueness of this creator will be demonstrated by the analysis of the Gregorian melodies, Bible quotations and liturgical texts of the pieces ?Priere avant la communio? and ?La Nativité du Seigneur.?

Olivier Robitaille, médecin pratiquant dans le faubourg Saint-Jean-Baptiste de 1838 à 1896, est une figure dominante de la profession médicale de Québec. Il eut une carrière bien remplie qui lui apporta visibilité et crédibilité auprès de la population et du corps médical. Les principaux facteurs qui lui permirent d'accéder à l'élite médicale résident dans sa volonté de réussir, l'exemple familial, sa formation pratique, ses études universitaires, le cumul de nombreuses fonctions médicales et l'opportunité qu'il a eue, particulièrement grâce au Dr Joseph Morrin, d'occuper des postes importants. Malgré son appartenance Indéniable à cette élite, il ressort qu'Olivier Robitaille fut davantage un médecin pleinement engagé au sein de sa communauté qu'un éminent médecin. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2013
