Roderick Chadwick and Peter Hill give a detailed account of the evolution of Olivier Messiaen's Catalogue d'oiseaux for piano solo, from its initial conception in the Black Forest in 1953 to its completion and premiere in the Parisian 'Concerts du Domaine Musical' at the end of the decade. Through close examination of the composer's birdsong cahiers they demonstrate how Messiaen translated nature into music in a way that had a major impact on his later work. They also consider issues of performance, and Messiaen's artistic relationship with his dedicatee and wife-to-be, Yvonne Loriod, including the significance of her two recordings of the cycle. This book illuminates the Catalogue from a variety of angles: its historical significance, as a study of how mimicry of nature can be transformed into music of mesmeric originality, and as a guide that offers a wealth of fresh insights to listeners and performers.

These new essays written specifically for this volume explore the various aspects of Olivier Messiaen's spiritually committed musical language, drawing on his own remarks in subheadings and prefaces, his biblical and theological citations, his allusions to works of visual art, and on the language spoken directly by the musical tropes themselves.

At the Department of Mathematics of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the University of Coimbra we can observe a collection of five geometric models, mounted on boxes or wooden brackets, in all analogous to the idealized by Théodore Olivier (1793-1853) to expose some of the contents of the descriptive geometry. Deprived of his first function of teaching support, the models of descriptive geometry continue to carry out the important mission of reminding us of an already distant past but we must not forget. This is also the main objective of this text, dedicated to the class of descriptive geometry of the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Coimbra and his collection of Olivier models.

Innovative, flexible and pragmatic: the award-winning office of Galletti & Matter.Claude Matter and Olivier Galletti, two young Swiss architects, have developed an essentially pragmatic approach based on sensitivity to location. They begin with an initial concept, not a definitive answer, open to modification during the construction process. The creation of various and distinctive spaces corresponding to situations and demands that crystallize on location, rather than the realisation of a preconceived homogeneous design.This volume, the first in a new series on young architects from Suisse Rom

This book is based around reports from people who have listened to certain pieces of sacred music (that is, pieces with a liturgical text or biblical allusions) and have said that hearing the music is itself an encounter with the divine. While relating to the music, these people find that relating to the music is a relation to God. The music as such becomes inaudible, and disappears into an encounter in which they address and are addressed by God, or the Risen Christ, or the Eternal Infinite. The book's project is to elaborate on these reports, first by dwelling on the meaning of "relation" th

L’entrepreneuriat est devenu, en une vingtaine d’années, une discipline à part entière d’enseignement, de recherche et de gestion des entreprises. Il n’en reste pas moins un champ d’études qui reste encore à défricher. En témoigne la découverte de la toute petite entreprise pour nombre de disciplines, depuis l’artisanat, institution millénaire, jusqu’aux actuelles micro-entreprises. Ainsi, économistes, gestionnaires et sociologues n’hésitent plus à se pencher sur l’entrepreneur, en mobilisant pour cela des méthodes d’observation fondées sur les typologies, les cas d’entreprises et, plus largement, le recours à des grilles d’analyse inspirées par la découverte de la philosophie pragmatiste américaine. L’ouvrage, qui souhaite offrir une ouverture pluridisciplinaire sur la thématique de l’entrepreneuriat, est rédigé par un auteur considéré comme l’un de ses pionniers en France. Il rassemble plusieurs essais inédits de réflexion personnelle, venant souligner, dans un langage accessible à tous, la diversité des questions suscitées par les mutations en cours. Un large public de chercheurs, de praticiens et d’étudiants y trouvera des réflexions approfondies, et parfois iconoclastes, sur les logiques et les pratiques d’action que porte en elle la démarche entrepreneuriale.
