''Canticum Sacrum ad Honorem Sancti Marci Nominis'' is a 17-minute choral-orchestral piece composed in 1955 by Igor Stravinsky (1882–1971) in tribute "To the City of Venice, in praise of its Patron Saint, the Blessed Mark, Apostle." The piece is compact and stylistically varied, ranging from established neoclassical modes to experimental new techniques. The second movement, "Surge, Aquilo", represents Stravinsky's first movement based entirely on a tone row. Though most often abbreviated "''Canticum Sacrum''", the piece's full name is ''Canticum Sacrum ad honorem Sancti Marci Nominis'', or ''Canticle to Honor the Name of Saint Mark''. ==Text== Stravinsky selected all of his texts except the opening dedication from the Latin Vulgate. They are presented here in an English translation: *Dedicato: "To the City of Venice, in praise of its Patron Saint, the Blessed Mark, Apostle" *Part I, ''Euntes in mundum'': “Go into the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature” (Mark 16:15) *Part II, ''Surge, aquilo'': "Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits. I am come into my garden, my sister, my spouse: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk: eat, O friends; drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved. (Song of Songs 4:16, 5:1) *Part III, ''Ad Tres Virtutes Hortationes'' * * *''Caritas'': "And thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might." (Deuteronomy 6:5) / "Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loves is born of God, and knows God." (1 John 4:7) * * *''Spes'': “They that trust in the Lord shall be as mount Zion” / “I waited patiently for the Lord” (Psalms 125:1, 130:5-6) * * *''Fides'': "I believed, therefore have I spoken: I was greatly afflicted." (Psalms 116:10) *Part IV, ''Brevis Motus Cantilenae'': "Jesus said to him, If you can, all things are possible to him that believes. And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, 'Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!'" (Mark 9:23-24) *Part V, ''Illi autem profecti'': "And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen." (Mark 16:20) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Canticum Sacrum」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
