Commissionned by the "Maîtrise de Notre-Dame de Paris".Dedicated to Henri Chalet.This poem, dedicated to the Holy Spirit is an incantatory prayer which associates in one moove the multiplicity of the religious feeling : worship, love, illumination, acceptance, consolation …The voices are mainly a cappella, to underline a feeling of weakness and lonelyness. However, the musical development is turning towards a desire for plenitude.The organ is playing as a jingle, with a touch of mysticism with colors in halftones. it also underlines some words with more luminous chords, as in the conclusing stanza : « Fais-moi seulement connaître ta volonté. » (Let me simply know your will.)
