I Fioretti di San Francesco (“The little flowers” of St. Francis) constitute a marvelous and inimitable collection of “miracles and devout examples” concerning the life of St. Francis of Assisi. Composed in the vernacular in the last quarter of the fourteenth century by an anonymous Tuscan author, they were taken almost entirely from the “Actus beati Francisci et sociorum eius”, written probably by Ugolino da Montegiorgio between 1327 and 1340. They weave together the purest and most idealized themes of Franciscan thought, and stand out above all for the frankness of the spoken language, the candor of religious sentiment, and for the elevated words of the Poor Monk’s moral message. Their primary purpose was that of inspiring a spiritual emotion: the reality presented here acquires value only if it contains elements of edification, if it is capable of touching the reader’s soul and inducing him to a better life. The domesticated wolf, the calmed sparrows, the resolved quarrels, the praise of perfect happiness: all these become symbols of a renewed and luminous universal harmony in which the divine and the human blend harmoniously together. All things, even the most humble, are approached with loving solicitude and accepted joyously in their smallness as a means to rise towards transcendence.On this recording, the saint’s words are interpreted by Arnoldo Foà and immersed in the sound of the organ, instrument of mystic communication par excellence thanks to its close association with the sacred world.

Hello, I'd like to say that today 15 of your requests evolved from "waiting" or "coming soon" to "scheduled".This means that you can expect to see them in the next days: I only have to rip-scan-upload-post them. Turbobit is now down for maintenance but I will always try to post 2 mirrors anyway.
IMPORTANT: if someone downloaded Zelenka's Requiem and Miserere (Cover) can possibly reupload it for us 'cause I lent my copy to a friend which is now 500 km from here. Otherwise it could be a long time before I post this again. Thanx!!!

'English choral music at its finest: 11 hours 25 minutes of Tudor polyphony … from the superlative Sixteen, who have helped restore this music to the early music mainstream' (The Observer)
When The Sixteen embarked upon their recording career back in 1982, few would have been able to predict quite how successful they would become, or how far they would go towards rehabilitating the little-known and barely recorded music of these four master composers of the sixteenth century.
In this their 30th anniversary year, we join them in celebrating a Golden Age of Polyphony, and of music-making, by presenting their twelve discs of this repertoire in an attractively packaged (and priced) 10-CD remastered set.
I'm beginning here to resurrect some of the works that "disappeared" from Avax or were "abandoned" from the original uploaders. There's not a real thought behind it, I'm just cleaning up my HDs and following the wind. What I downloaded long ago is flowing back. All credits go to the first uploader. Enjoy...
