Cordoba points to the future, to an interfaith time in which global integration is only possible when one respects those who believe and think differently. Tolerance secures our future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobert M.

Abraham occupies a central position in the Tanakh, the Old Testament, since according to tradition the 'Twelve Tribes of Israel', and thus also Jesus of Nazareth, were descended from him. The Abraham of Islam and his son Ishmael, in turn, are considered the progenitors of the Arabs and ancestors of the Prophet Muhammad. Judaism, Christianity and Islam thus refer to Abraham as their progenitor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese three organ works are musically oriented towards historical circumstances. \u003cstrong\u003eLA FENETRE SUR L'ETERNITE \u003c\/strong\u003e[The Window to Eternity] consummates these visions and reflections against the backdrop of infinite reality. Seen in this way, the cycle also has an interfaith dimension.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll four works were commissioned by the organist Franz Hauk.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert M.
