A Music Academic's Blog. Ethnomusicology, South African Choral music, Anthropology, Gender, identity, technology, academia, travel, and general notes as I progress with my graduate studies and research projects.
The Conflated Prayer of S. Francis and S. Clare -- thank you for posting it. I first heard it read at the end of service by our local vicar, Fr. Allan, and now read this prayer in times of hardship and sorrow, and find it a great comfort.
Thank you, David. I'm glad to know where the words come from. The Drakensberg Boys' Choir in South Africa used it as something of an anthem, singing it near the end of every concert, and it is one of my favourite pieces. And it's wonderful to know a reader as far from SA as Thailand also loves something I find so comforting.
