Azân

In Islam, Azân/Adhan is the name for the muezzin's call to the five daily prayers. Each of the five pieces that Falcinelli's Op. 61 is made up of refers to a verse of the Koran and stands for one of the prayers. "Azân" was created at the request of the organist Eugène Pelletier and was performed for the first time at the Paris church Saint-Louis des Invalides in 1978 by him and the flutist Daniel Barda.
