'YinYang'
is the union of polar
opposites in Taoism. It
is the same in the
present work for trumpet
and organ in which the
two movements form a pair
of opposites: 'Toccata'
is a powerful, solid
music piece that is rough
around the edges, with
staccato as essential
form; 'Melisma' is a
sweeping, light and round
structure with legato as
essential form. This
polarity is as elementary
as 'male and female'.
This is why it is
characteristic of the
yin-yang symbol that the
curved, melismatic line
unites contrapuntally
with the toccata-like
rhythm so that a jubilant
praise of wholeness -
whether in the Christian
or Taoist sense - can be
heard. (Enjott
Schneider).
