大象传媒

Presented by Penny Gore.

Afternoon on 3 continues its occasional series celebrating 100 years since the birth of Messiaen, which focuses on his music in the context of significant themes in French music history and this week examines one of France's most important contributions to Western classical music - Impressionism.

Messiaen relished the notion of painting pictures in music and, in particular, had a fasincation for portraying bird song and nature, continuing a tradition that goes back to Renaissance times and the French chansons.
