Topic: |
2nd - 16th Century: Ancient and Medieval Hymns |
|
Notes: |
Inspired by Psalms 145 and 148, as well as by the "Canticle of the Three Young Men" (apocryphal addition to Daniel 3), Francis' "Canticle of the Sun" is a catalogue hymn in which various facets of creation are urged to praise the Lord with their "alleluias." The powerful tune (which shows similarity to the Genevan tune for Psalm 68) comes from an early Jesuit hymnal. For this tune in D major, see "A Hymn of Glory Let Us Sing!" (31) |
