About

Joaquin Nin-Culmell (1908–2004) was a student of Dukas and Falla and his early music reflects his Spanish background.

Born in Cuba to a dysfunctional but musical family (his father was a composer-pianist and his mother a singer, and his sister was the writer Anaïs Nin) he grew up in Barcelona where he first studied music.

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 Mesiaen – becomes fiercer and more passionate as the work progresses.

The Symphonie des Mystères is a work which will appeal not only to organ buffs and those interested in the music of the twentieth century, but the deep faith it embodies ought to find a sympathetic audience among Catholic listeners, too.
