Early influences on Messiaen were Debussy and Gluck. In particular Debussys' Pelleas et Mellasande and Prelude á l'apres-Midi d'un Faune the score of which was given to him by his first harmony teacher Jean Gallon. It was the timeless, floating quality that Messiaen admired in this music and it was while a small boy in Grenoble, Messiaen was 'reading' the score of Glucks' Orfeo (the Air in F major) when he discovered he was actually 'hearing' these wonderful melodies in his head. This had such an emotional impact on him that from then on as a child he would ask not for toys as Christmas presents but musical scores!
On a non musical level Messiaen has said the one real influence on his life, even before he was born, was his mother the poetess Cecilé Sauvage whose book of verse L'ame en Bourgeon (The Soul in Bud) was for him. She spoke when expecting him, of a boy who would be an artist - she said 'the anguish of arts' mysteries will be dispersed and here is the Orion who sings in my being - with his blue birds and his golden butterflies - I suffer from an unknown distant music'. Messiaen believed this shaped his entire destiny.
When he was eleven years old he visited Saint Chapelle and remembers being 'overwhelmed by the colours of the stained glass windows', understanding then that music is coloured explaining that 'you don't see all the colours and pictures at once - you're dazzled. When you hear chords they are complexes of sounds'. Messiaen, it turned out, is one of those people who had the ability to transcribe sounds into colours (synaesthesia) in their inner imagination and goes to great length describing these colours in his scores where appropriate. Messiaen married his first wife Claire Delbos in June 1932. The daughter of a Sorbonne professor, she was a member of La Spirale, a prominent new music society, an accomplished violinist and composer (works include Primevere 5 Songs for soprano and piano, Deux Pièces for Organ 1935, Parce, Domine {Pardonnez,Seigneur, à votre peuple...} pour le temps du Carême for organ and Marie, toute-puissance suppliante for 4 Ondes Martenots) she sadly became physically and mentally ill and entered a psychiatric hospital (where she eventually died in 1959) leaving Messiaen a single parent bringing up their only son Pascal (born in 1937 and now a teacher of Russian) throughout the late 30s and 40s. Messiaen and Claire Delbos gave many recitals in and around Paris during the early 1930s featuring the Romantic repetoire for violin and piano and in 1932 he composed Theme and Variations for her and they premiered the piece at a concert held by the Société Nationale. A second work for violin and piano recently came to light entitled Fantaisie composed in 1933. His song cycle Poemes pour Mi is also dedicated to Claire Delbos, Mi being a 'pet' name for her. Both music and words were written by Messiaen and celebrates the joy and sanctity of marriage. Messiaen was to continue to write the texts for most of his choral and vocal works including the Trois Petite liturgies de la Presence Divine which caused some negative if not hostile reactions from many critics at the first performance. He believes that this reaction was due to the fact that the work is full of passion but with a deep religious foundation and this took the critics by surprise and much of the criticisms were not directed at the music. In 1936, with the composers Andre Jolivet, Daniel Lesur, and Yves Baudrier, he founded the group La Jeune France ("Young France") to promote new French music. From 1934 to 1939 he taught piano sight reading at the École Normale de Musique and an organ improvisation course at the Schola Cantorium.
