Vocal/Chorus ScoreFor vocal quartet, piano trio, and clarinet, in five movements, sets the text of the Cantico delle Creature (Canticle of Creation) by St. Francis of Assisi (1181/82-1226), one the first extant writings in Italian (Umbrian) dialect rather than the official Latin. Many composers have set it to music, including Franz Liszt, William Walton, and Amy Beach.

Throughout the work, passages from the traditional Prayer of St. Francis/Make Me an Instrument of Your Peace interject their own commentary, meditating on topics such as forgiveness, consolation, and harmony.
