New project underway on Messiaen diaries and papers

Nigel Simeone (University of Wales Bangor) is working with Peter Hill (Sheffield University) on a major new book, Messiaen in Words and Pictures, which will publish extracts from the private diaries and papers of Olivier Messiaen for the first time, along with several hundred photographs. This project has been awarded very significant Research Grant funding by the Arts and Humanities Research Board. The book will be published by Yale University Press in late 2004 or early 2005.
