  What makes Oiseaux exotiques so important is that it is arguably the first of Messiaen's major works to create a successful synthesis between his music and his passion for ornithology. This book outlines the background to Oiseaux exotiques , analyses Messiaen's compositional methods, provides a commentary on the music, and more.
