Canticle uses
melodic motives from St.
Francis of Assisi's hymn,
All Creatures of Our God
and King. It opens with a
festive fanfare and
proceeds to a lively A
section. The middle
section uses the motif in
a relative minor before
concluding with a
majestic celebratory
ending. All instruments
have fun, exciting and
challenging parts. An
ideal programming choice
for concert, contest or
festival
performances.
