Canzone di Francesco

This beautiful and intense slow composition including lots of melodic and musical sequences is dedicated to Saint Francis-a figure whose life story has always impressed the composer. He had previously honoured Francis of Assisi in several works including a composition for strings, an oratorio, a mass and a Laudate for choir and concert band. Canzone di Francesco will create a moment of meditation and reflection during your concert, but is also very suitable as a warm up piece offering various possibilities to work on intonation, phrasing and sound building.
