The final version of the work is the result of mixing a 3-part score. An Arcane is a mysterious, secret operation of alchemists. Are we not alchemists of the sound world, we musicians? Eleven is, for the Arabs, the number of the knowledge of God, which passes through 11 stages:
- the will corresponding to self-control,
- abstinence and music that bring purification,
- time, stage of the wander between self-awareness and God,
- the image of God reflected in every creature,
- the end of worry,
- perfect tranquility and permanent ecstasy,
- the outburst out of oneself,
- the possibility of going up to God,
- the loss of the will,
- the return trip with God,
- permanent contemplation giving the power to work miracles.
