(2 of 5) Canticles of St Francis

A meditation on the life and words of St. Francis of Assisi. Music composed by Richard Blackford, narration by Jeremy Irons. Bournemouth Orchestra and Symphony Chorus." IV Canticle of Love II ", alas the first 2 canticles I do not have on video. Soloists Ying Huang, Bo Skovhus. Music available on CD. Amazon.com/music/mirror of perfection/ should bring up this work.

Heaven and earth and all creation cry out to me
That I must love.
Everyone tellsme: with all your heart
Love the love that loves you:
Love the love which desires you
Which is created you to draw you
Wholly to itself
Therefore I desire never to stop drawing
On this holy light
And this ineffable goodness.

O beauty, both old and new born,
Which I have found.
O immense light
Whose splendour is so sweet!
