Naji Hakim: Sonate Pour Violon Seul: Violin: Score and Parts

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 spirit in a popular style. The world premiere was given by Hélène Sanglier on January 19 1996 at the Auditorium Francis Poulenc in Paris.
