Description:

Norah Duncan has set all three of the Gospel Canticles for the Liturgy of the Hours in an engaging and rhythmic style that will add new life to the celebration of the hours. All three canticles, with poetic texts by Mary Louise Bringle and Ruth Duck, can find a place in various liturgical services throughout the year. The Benedictus works best at morning services while the Magnificat, commonly used at evening prayer, can serve as a joyful song of praise at any celebration. The Nunc Dimittis sounds like a freedom song from South Africa; it makes a wonderful final song, sending all to live in the light and joy of the Gospel!
