This piece saved my life. I found it very relaxing to play at a highly stressful time in my life. My organ teacher at the time told me that the pedal line starting about halfway through, with the marking "like drops of water," was originally marked in the manuscript "like drops of blood." That factoid has always stuck with me.
Yeah such pieces very much safed me to
Have you actually seen/do you have the manuscript? I'm very curious!
I was using a copy from my college's music library. The "like drops of blood" anecdote came from my organ prof.
@@stanthonyofpadua1 it was in the manuscript. The “drops of blood” is supposed to be the blood of Christ dripping from His wounds as this piece was written around the idea of Holy Communion- eating His flesh and drinking His blood
@@panickingbaguette9382 Do you have the manuscript, have you seen it?
nothing to say except that i feel in presence with perfection
Thank you Messiaen
This is such a wonderful piece of music. By the way; Every organ has its idiosyncrasies. A composer can instruct you on the registration, but in the end you as an organ player, must decide how you are going to stay as close to the asked as possible. We do not all have access to a Cavaillé Coll organ. Therefore there are infinite ways of performing this piece or at least a permutation of ways of registration and so on.
It still is wonderful music.
Love, Ernst van G.
Well said!
MESSIAEN ERA UN VERO GENIO
Marvellous ! Myself as a musician, I was able to be influenced by him without knowing it between 1993 and the beginning of this century ..... ;-)
Lovely!
Beautiful.
I can't think of a more affecting piece of music.
e il senso del Mistero è rivelato !
I enjoyed you performance. Thank you.
Ineffably wondrous.
The best!!!
For whatever it is worth, when Messiaen performed the piece, it took 7 minutes. He is the only one who could get away with playing it that slowly.
I think the tempo is perfection.
There are even slower ones and I like these even more.
He rewrote this piece with altered meter since others were playing it too quickly. He is not "getting away with" anything. He is the composer and deliberately chose the tempo to reflect his intention.
Very intense. Good Job !
The low register of that céleste is so powerful. The organ I play on the most doesn't have a 2' principal on the choir division so I end up using a 2' flute, and I've grown to like the more hollow sound in the pedal. Of course, your registration is more true to Messiaen's instructions.
Thanks!
darrei la vità, per improvvisare- compore- suonare, come lui!?
Bravo!
: Thanks!
Messiaen was inspired by God himself. There's no other way a mere human could write such deep and moving spiritual music.
Give humans more credit
After all that is what God does is it not? Bloody inspiration
all of his powers can be traced back to the number 22.
bigger than doctrine, bigger than the empires. the universe's parentage itself filling a human mind and heart and speaking in numbers and proportions, renditioned through some the most magnificent musical tools currently on the planet.
Great piece !!!
If you say so..
Well, I didn't intend to have it too deep, but my headphones' basses were rather poor, so I guess I amplified some stuff, unaware. :)
I think the jazz fusion guitar player John McLaughlin and his "Blues for L W" from the album music spoken here, was influenced by this piece.
@MrCubsfan3 : Thank you! I am.
space is the place
This is the modern day version, sadly the true genuine has been edited by other "organist". I am the Organist of 2 Churches and my music for such pieces are written out for the speed. But I hope for the best for you, keep speeding the truth.
@TheCololi : You're far too kind! :)
This is great!! Who is the artist?
Malheureusement tout le monde ne pourra pas participer à ce banquet "car il y a beaucoup d'appelés mais peu d'élus". Matthieu 22:14
pour cela ecouter les vidéos du théologien Arnaud Demouch sur le purgatoire
@@MrJazzharmonie1 Il est ici le purgatoire , dans cette vallée de larmes !
Thank goodness we don’t know in advance who will be among the Chosen Ones

Olivier Messiaen's "Le Banquet celeste" for the organ is as tasty as a Celeste frozen Pizza-for-one immediately after it is removed from the microwave after being cooked for the requisite amount of time listed in the instructions on the container box. This performance is definitely not too cheesy!
you ignorant fucktard, thats not how you cook a celeste pizza, you put it in the microwave for about 2/3 of the cook time and move it to the toaster oven for the rest so it gets crispy. Jesus would jack slap you so hard your other cheek would be turned straight to hell if you ever tried to serve him that rubbery slop. jesus deserves crispy pizza and crispy add 6 chords
@@fryingwiththeantidote2486 i know this is 2yrs old but dang aggresive much?
Meaningless twaddle. Begone.
@gayforlife2020 : I love it too.
good early electronic instruments!
Kindly post your "Correct"performance. It's like looking at a painting and saying..."Oh the artist used too much blue". Who cares about your comments except the ego-mind sitting there smug in its "correctness"? I would play this slower, but so what? It doesn't make me "right" and others "wrong". Perhaps someday more will realize that we are all points of view, none better or worse than another...
Yes, the pedal entry is too heavy. Drops of water / blood. Not sufficiently staccato and delicate. Need to be Bllll-ip!.... Blll-ip.....! But hey, nevertheless a gripping performance. A wonderful work. Thank you.
Céleste ...... ou sombre ?
Sleeping pills and also le verbe in it's b-part
Messiaen's religious music never sounds religious to me. I remember walking into a cathedral once--a well known one off a side-street in London--and his music was being played but it sounded like someone being slowly but surely dragged down into the bowels of the earth. No joy. No grace. I don't get it.
It was the reproach made against him. His music, under gloomy and diabolical aspects was composed entirely to the glory of Christ, do not doubt it :-)
I have no definitive answer, but I will try. Messien's sound world sounds luminous and heavenly for a sincere heart. just follow his birdsongs.
Messiaen on the other hand was truly Catholic, therefore he did not deny any of the struggles and sorrows of a soul who is longing for Grace in a dark and mad world (his most intense output started before and reached its summits after the second World War). He was truly Catholic, therefore he did not deny the incredible spiritual challenges his fatih faced, while slowly losing his beloved first wife and being attracted by another young woman in the process. No, surely Messiaen is not only about sunshine and slow tempos.
