Timeline

1906

Louise-Justine Messiaen (née Delbos; 2 November 1906 – 22 April 1959), more commonly known under her pseudonym Claire Delbos, was a French violinist and composer, and first wife of the composer Olivier Messiaen.

Delbos was born in Paris, the daughter of a Sorbonne professor, Victor Delbos.

Although she was usually known after her marriage as Claire or as Claire-Louise, she was baptized Louise Justine Delbos.

She was a pupil at the Schola Cantorum, a private music school in Paris, and later studied violin and composition at the Paris Conservatoire.

Her skill on the violin brought her to the attention of the young Messiaen.

1932

They gave recitals together in Paris in the early 1930s, and were married on 22 June 1932.

The composer Claude Arrieu was Delbos's bridesmaid.

Messiaen wrote the Thème et variations for violin and piano as a wedding gift for his wife; they performed it together on 22 November 1932.

1936

Some of Messiaen's works were written to celebrate the happiness of the young couple, an example being the song cycle Poèmes pour Mi for soprano and piano in 1936, which he arranged for soprano and orchestra in 1937, and which was based on his own poems about the joy of marriage.

Mi was Messiaen's affectionate nickname for Delbos.

Delbos also composed several organ works, including Paraphrase sur le jugement dernier and L'offrande à Marie, for Messiaen.

In the early years of their marriage, several of the Messiaens' holidays were spent at the Château St Benoît, in Neussargues-Moissac – a château, owned by the Delbos family, which Messiaen found conducive to composing, and where much of L'Ascension was written.

1937

Delbos suffered a series of miscarriages in the early years of her marriage, but in 1937 their son Pascal was born, and Messiaen produced another song cycle, Chants de terre et de ciel (1938), in which all three members of the family were portrayed.

1949

In 1949, Delbos underwent a disasterous hysterectomy that resulted in a cerebral infection and, eventually, total amnesia.

She entered a sanatorium, and remained institutionalized, with steadily declining health, for the rest of her life.

1959

She died in 1959, in Hauts-de-Seine.

Organ

1977

During that summer, the Messiaens moved into an apartment at 77 rue des Plantes, on the Left Bank in the 14th arrondissement of Paris.

This was to be their home for the next six years, and was the venue of occasional musical gatherings of select friends; it was where they first met the Jolivets.

2007

The successful Thème et variations was followed by another violin work written by Messiaen for his wife – Fantaisie, though this was not published until 2007 or 2008, and it is not clear if it was ever performed in public during Messiaen's lifetime.

2013

The Messiaens moved into 13 villa du Danube in the 19th arrondissement.
