Von Speyer: St. Francis of Assisi & St. Anthony of Padua

Nova Schola Gregoriana of Verona, Turco, Alberto

97221

Newly recorded at the Basilica in Assisi, the birthplace of the Franciscan order, a comprehensive set of the ‘Rhymed Offices’ chanted by religious communities to bear witness to the miracles and virtues of St Francis and of St Antony of Padua.

During the Middle Ages, the Church established the custom of chanting original poetic texts during the Hours of the Office (in particular, Vespers, Matins and Lauds). Their purpose was to construct a story which linked biblical texts, such as psalms and canticles, to the deeds and virtues of the Saints of the Church.
