A tribute to the figure of Saint Francis, the saint of simplicity and universal brotherhood, through a vocal and instrumental repertoire that deeply evokes Franciscan spirituality, especially the angelic bond with nature. Francis' message of peace is combined with the mysticism of Arvo Pärt's music.
