Canticle of the sun


About

The Canticle of the Sun, also known as Laudes Creaturarum, is a prayer of Saint Francis of Assisi. Its the praise of God,  thank Him for such creations as "Brother Fire" (played by Pipe) and "Sister Moon" (played by flute).

My new composition tries to make the words of St. Francis musically audible and thus perceptible.

It is dedicated to Fr. Massimo Fusarelli. He is the new general minister of the Franciscans as the 121st successor to Saint Francis as head of the religious community worldwide.
