on the Introit of the Feast of the Epiphany. Par HAKIM NAJI. This toccata is based on the introit to the Christian Epiphany festival and solemnly announces the appearance of the Lord. As a toccata, the work is an introduction to Hakim's Adoration (Schott, ED 22614) for voice, flute and organ, a paraphrase of the first three introitus to Epiphany. The Toccata develops a series of symphonic variations with virtuoso movements that emphasize the expressiveness of the words of the Gregorian text: 'Ecce advenit dominator dominus: et regnum in manu ejus, et potestas, et empium. Deus, judicium tuum regi da: et justitiam tuam Filio regis. '(' Behold, the Lord, the ruler, comes: and the kingdom is in his hand, and the power and the dominion. 'God, give your judicial office to the king: and yours Justice to the son of the king. ') (Malachi 3: 1, I Chronicles 29:12, Psalm 71: 1, 10, 11). / Niveau : Intermédiaire / Répertoire / Orgue
