Sonata (1994) |
For violin solo - c. 15'
The Sonata for solo violin by Naji Hakim was written in 1995. The opening Precipitato, a kind of energetic toccata in binary form, is followed by an Andante quasi recitativo, a set of paraphrase-variations of the Gregorian melody for Easter: ''Ego dormivi, et somnum cepi: exsurrexi, quoniam Dominus suscepit me, alleluia''. The finale is a polythematic Allegro con spirito, in a popular style.
The world premiere was given by Hélène Sanglier on January 19, 1996 at the Auditorium Francis Poulenc in Paris .
