Naji Hakim, born in Beirut in 1955, is one of the most important organists and organ composers of today. He studied with Jean Langlais at the Paris Conservatoire, was organist at Sacré-Coeur in Paris from 1985-93 and then succeeded Messiaen at the Basilica Ste Trinité. He gives concerts all over the world, is professor at the Conservatoire in Boulogne and visiting professor at the Royal Academy in London. His work 'Die Apostel' consists of several meditations for two organists, based on woodcuts of the apostles by Lucas Cranach the Elder. Following the sequence of illustrations, it makes use of chorales and Lutheran and Gregorian chants among others. In the impressive cycle of compositions, Naji Hakim explores the wealth of colours and tonal power of the Romantic organ.
Son œuvre Les Apôtres” se compose de plusieurs méditations pour deux organistes, basées sur des gravures sur bois de Lucas Cranach l’Ancien. Suivant l’ordre des illustrations elle utilise entre autres des chorals et des chants luthériens et grégoriens. Dans ce cycle imposant, Naji Hakim explore la richesse des coloris et la puissance sonore de l’orgue romantique.
