Les Corps glorieux

Les corps glorieux, Sept visions brèves de la Vie des ressuscités (French: The Bodies Glorious, Seven Brief Visions of the Life of the Resurrected) are a large cycle for organ composed in the summer of 1939 in Saint-Théoffrey (Isère) by Olivier Messiaen. The work was completed on 25 August 1939, a week before the declaration of the Second World War, and premiered by Messiaen himself on 15 April 1945 at the Palais de Chaillot.

Les corps glorieux marks an evolution in the musical language of Olivier Messiaen, combining features of both Indian classical music and Gregorian chant. The work, together with L'Ascension (1934) and La Nativité du Seigneur (1935), is one of the three early organ cycles of the composer.
