Description:
Program note (English): (Premiere: 19-6-1981 - Eglise St. Charles de Borromé, Joinville-le-Pont - Yvonne Bonnet, Régine Rossy, Choeur Fanac, Ensemble Instrumental du Conservatoire de St. Maur, dir. Alphonse Stallaert). Franciscus (1181-1226) dictated, several hours before his death, a text. This text, 'Il cantico del sole', or, 'Cantico di frate sole', or even 'Il cantico de tutte le creature' is one of the first important texts in Italy, written in the dialect of Umbria. The composer followed the whole poem. Only an instrumental Preludio all' inferno (Prelude to hell) was inserted before the words (No. IX) 'Ka, la morte secunda non il poterà far male' (Because the second death (the hell) shall do no worse to them.' - ALPHONSE STALLAERT
