Spiritus: breath and spirit at the same time. If the melodic phrase at the origin of this piece, by its conciseness, holds in one breath, the path leading to its only integral exposition can be summed up in a process of progressive unveiling of the idea until its final « apocalypse » (in the original sense of « revelation »). The title of the piece imposed itself when, already well into the formal conception stage, the kinship of the melody with that of the sequence Veni Sancte Spiritus, which is sung on the feast of Pentecost, appeared.
Spiritus is dedicated to its commissioner and first performer Vincent Lhermet.
