Edition Schott
Salve Regina. violin and organ.

In his organ works, Naji Hakim often draws his thematic material from the Gregorian chant, thesaurus of the Roman Catholic Church, which is regarded as essential part of the liturgy even by Vatican II. This paraphrase of the antiphon to the virgin, 'Salve Regina', is based on the plainsong theme (solemn tone). The Gregorian line is unchanged ; it evolves slowly above an expressive harmony. The text of the prayer is underlined by the meditative, soft and peaceful character.
Besetzung : violin and organ
