Back to Franz Liszt
Liszt originally wrote Cantico del Sol di San Francesco d’Assisi for baritone, choir and piano or organ (S. 4i; LW I8; R. 479), then later for baritone, choir, organ and orchestra (S. 4ii; LW I8; R. 479). Of this later version, Liszt made an arrangement for solo piano (S. 499; LW A307; R. 191) and an arrangement for organ and trombone that is now lost (S. 677a; LW S59).
The work uses the carol In dulci jubilo, and shares themes with the Alleluia (S. 183/1; LW A216; R. 68) for solo piano and the Hosannah (S. 677; LW F2; R. 409) for organ and trombone.
Liszt also wrote San Francesco (Preludio per il Cantico del sol) in versions for solo piano (S. 498d; LW A301; R. 392) and organ (S. 665; LW E35; R. 392). This serves an optional introduction to the piano and (lost) organ arrangements of Cantico del Sol di San Francesco d’Assisi.
