Twenty Lessons In Harmony by Olivier Messiaen is a book in which the author describes his perceptions of colours in music and the importance of the fusion of sound and sight. Often depictingchords as precise colours and shades, he explains how he perceived harmony through a visual prism. This description is completed by these Twenty Lessons for SATB to help controlling the harmonies.
