Biographical and source studies of Olivier Messiaen and Claire Delbos

在为我们的梅西安传记(现已交付)进行研究期间，我们发现了许多不可能包括在内的文件，以及其他重要来源的下落。我们的建议有三个方面，这是从传记的工作中产生的：1)一本文件和信件的原始书籍；2)对梅西安和他的第一任妻子克莱尔·德尔博斯的研究，包括对德尔博斯音乐的第一次认真评估；3)梅西恩的鸟鸣凯撒及其与Oiseaux extiaues的关系。这三个国家都有我们希望在我们申请资金的期间结束时交付的成果(书籍)。

During research for our biography of Messiaen (now delivered) we identified many documents which it was impossible to include, and the whereabouts of further important sources. Our proposal has three strands which emerge from work on the biography: 1) a source book of documents and letters; 2) a study of Messiaen and his first wife Claire Delbos including the first serious evaluation of Delbos's music; 3) Messiaen's birdsong cahiers and their relationship to Oiseaux exotiaues. All three have outcomes (books) which we would expect to deliver by the end of the period for which we are applying for funding.
