CANTICUM, 8', Paris, 1995, UMP, à ma fille Katia-Sofia, Naji Hakim, Collège du Sacré-Coeur, Beirut, Lebanon, 21.12.95



The three sections of this suite borrow their titles from and freely paraphrase gregorian chants from Advent: the hymn Conditor alme siderum, the canticle Rorate coeli desuper and the last of the seven great antiphons, O Emmanuel. The Central section of the first movement also comments upon the hymn Veni Redemptor gentium.

The verses from the Song of Solomon and The Book of Revelation, quoted at the head of each movement, evoke the love between God and his people.

Conditor alme siderum

"Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits." (Song of Solomon, 4.16)

Rorate coeli desuper

"Open to me my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: For my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night." (Song of Solomon, 5.2)

O Emmanuel

"And the Spirit and the bride say, Come." (Book of Revelation, 22.17)

TROIS NOËLS, arrangements for SATB choir a cappella 1. Ding, dong, merrily on high 2. O Tannebaum (with violin solo ad libitum) 3. Noël, 7', Bayonne, 2001, UMP, 1. to 1. Vincent Rouquès and "Les Voix Mêlées", 2. to Marion Delorme 3. to Catherine Salviat, "Les Voix Mêlées", Marion Delorme, violin, Dir. Vincent Rouquès, église de la Trinité, Paris, 07.12.01

The melody of Ding, dong, merrily on high is based on the Branle de l'Official by Thoinot Arbeau (1558) with a text by George Ratcliffe Woodward (1845-1934). O Tannenbaum uses a traditional carol from Alsace; the last stanza of the present arrangement proposes a violin counterpoint ad libitum. The last piece, Noël, develops a traditional yodel also from Alsace (Colmar), Uff em Berjel bin ich g'sässe, with an adapted text by Naji Hakim*. These carols were initially designed to introduce the composer's violin and piano Sonata which develops the same tunes (Alphonse Leduc, Paris). When the two works are on a same programme, it is preferable to start by the Trois Noëls, as ordered in the score. Suggested readings to introduce each piece: 1. Luc 2, 1-20 ; 2. Mat 18, 2-4 and Marc 9, 33 to 37 ; 3. 1 Cor 13, 1-13.
