Programme notes *: The "Canticle of the Saints" is not only a liturgical prayer, but often a basis for important musical works that play an important role in the Christian tradition. These compositions are often referred to as hymns or cantatas and are part of the rich musical heritage of the Church. The musical tradition of the "Canticle of the Saints" goes back a long way and has its roots in medieval and Renaissance music. Composers such as Hildegard von Bingen, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Tomás Luis de Victoria created famous settings of this canticle. These works were often performed during liturgical celebrations such as feast days of the saints or special church services. Musically, the "Canticle of the Saints" varies depending on the composer and style. Some of these works are polyphonic choral works that emphasise the solemnity and importance of the saints, while others are rather simple, monophonic chants that emphasise the modesty and simplicity of faith. The texts of the compositions may refer to biblical passages, liturgical texts or specific hymns dedicated to the saints. The musical interpretations are often performed in church ceremonies, concerts or spiritual events. They serve to honour the saints and support the faithful in their spiritual practice. The music adds an extra dimension of beauty and majesty to this hymn and allows the faithful to connect with the saints on a deeper emotional and spiritual level. The Canticle of the Saints in terms of music is a significant element of the Christian liturgical music tradition. Through its musical splendour and profound texts, it invites the faithful to connect with the saints and appreciate their importance in the faith. These musical works help to enrich the spiritual experience of the congregation and enhance the solemnity of liturgical celebrations.
