'Valet will ich dir geben - Du arge, falsche Welt... ' Based on the sacred poem of Valerius Herberger and written in the style of Melchior Teschner's chorale melody, the French composer Naji Hakim (1955) wrote a moving work for choir and organ. The five chorale variations lead from heavenly joy in the choral parts to a charming setting for solo organ ; then Hakim moves on to a setting for a cappella choir and a canon for soprano and alto with organ accompaniment.
The expressive work ends with a lively toccata which is complemented by an expressive adagio in the middle. Instrumentation : mixed choir and organ
