His Symphonie des Mystères – one of his last works, composed in 1992–94, for alternating Gregorian chant and organ – is a suite based on the fifteen Mysteries of the life of Christ. The work is divided into three main spans – ‘Joyeux’, ‘Douloureux’ and ‘Glorieux’ – each of which contains five Gregorian chants and a quasi-improvised organ reflection on the chant and its meaning.
Beginning in a contemplative spirit, the music – written in a style slightly similar to that of Messiaen – becomes fiercer and more passionate as the work progresses.
The Symphonie des Mystères is a work which will appeal to organ buffs and those interested in the music of the twentieth century, and also to the Catholic community in general, due to the deep faith that it embodies.
First recording, made in the presence of the composer.
