Summary
This chapter posits a revealing “census” or reckoning of the ways in which Messiaen has appeared in musicology in France vs. foreign climes and his presence in concert programming. More than twenty-five years after his death, Messiaen’s legacy in France is still a matter of debate. It examines how Messiaen’s work has fared in France since his death, and how institutions and performers have engaged with this work.
