A delightful collection of over 300 years of vocal and instrumental music highlighting the life and legacy of Saint Francis of Assisi. The result of three years of scholarly research, this recording features a generous helping of medieval Italian instrumental dances (played on bagpipes, rebec, vielle, harp, recorder, pipe, and several percussion instruments), as well as early Italian-language spiritual and processional songs, lush choral motets from the Venetian School and soaring plainchant written in honor of one history's most beloved saints.

Beautiful Medieval vocal music.
We heard the Rose Ensemble perform these works live and I rushed home to order the CD. To anyone who enjoys Medieval and Renaissance vocal music, this is an extraordinary treat. It is one of my very favorite CDs.

Must Have Renaissance CD
Without a doubt, from start to finish, one of the most beautiful cds of the Renaissance period. Contemplative, exotic, intriguing and heavenly.

Inspirational and uplifting music.
I do not own this CD, but I saw the Rose Ensemble in concert and they performed this CD. It was absolutely beautiful and uplifting. I can't wait to be able to purchase this CD to relive that concert again.
