Yes, Messiaen was very much a maverick.ChamMusic wrote:"Messiaen listed numerous other such modes, but I have never been able to remember them, because they didn't sound right to me."
Messiaen created 7 Modes of Limited Transposition (I studied them and had to compose in a couple of them at University in the distant, dark 1980s)! :0)
He actually called them his: MODES OF LIMITED TRANSPOSITION AND SPECIAL CHORDS...
This is an important point because he never really thought of them as scalic / melodic modes (although he did use them in this way occasionally in very early works). He looked upon them as a harmonic resource:
Messiaen: “People have often referred to my modes of limited transposition as scales.They are not scales, but harmonic colors".
He usually presented his modes chordally, to take advantage of their particular colorations; only by presenting notes of a mode simultaneously could a coloration emerge!
M: “Their function is coloristic. They are not harmonies in the classical sense of the term; they are obviously not tonal harmonies.They are not even classified chords.”
He further described the modes as “colored locations, small colored regions, where the general color remains the same, as long as neither mode nor transposition changes.”
In his writings, descriptions of modal coloration always refer to one or more chords, never to melodies/ scales.
NOTE: 7 such modes created by M, but he only ever used 4 of them - modes 2, 3, 4, and 6.
the truth is that he probably realized that the other modes were sort of subsets / super sets of these ones and compositionally pointless! :0)
