The choral Le don des larmes by the Belgian organist and composer Benoit Mernier is conceived as a symphonic work for a great organ of the Cavaille-Coll type. The Chorale is more a chaconne than a Lutheran chorale and it appears in various forms in the manner of an improvisation, repeatedly changing. The subtitle Le don des larmes (the gift of tears) derives from the mystical Catholic tradition which considers crying to be a boon. A finely worked-out, striking piece for organ, marked by a delight in rich and varied sounds.

This voluntary is based on what is arguably the most famous of Easter hymns in the Western Christian Church – Jesus Christ is Risen Today. Taken from a collection of various hymns and tunes entitled Lyra Davidica (1708), the Easter Hymn is used as the springboard for a rhapsodic opening and development before a full and ravishing harmonization of the entire hymn. The conclusion, an extension of the tune itself, calls for a volcanic organ registration, sure to elicit an eruptive outcry appropriate to the day itself! .
