Philippa continues exploring the solo violin music written from 1720 to a composition written in 2021. We travel from the familiar territory of the structured yet imaginative Baroque works by Bach and Telemann to exotic Middle Eastern and Australian territories. Naji Hakim is a Franco-Lebanese organist, composer, and improviser. He studied the organ under Jean Langlais at the Conservatoire de Paris, and succeeded Olivier Messiaen at the Église de la Sainte-Trinité, Paris. His composing style was influenced by the uniqueness of its light and elegant decoration, epitomised in his violin writing. English composer David Matthews worked in Australia with composer Peter Sculthorpe and the introduction to a friendly magpie named Munro sparked his descriptive set showing off four characterful birds with great energy and humour.
