ABOUT THE WORK
Derived from the Book of Daniel, Benedicite is a song of praise offered by three young men saved from the fiery furnace: “O all ye works of the Lord, bless ye the Lord, praise him and magnify him forever.”
Andrew Carter’s setting brings this ancient text to life with imagination and charm, including additional verses for children’s voices—featuring creatures great and small, from hedgehogs to dragonflies, alongside the familiar wonders of creation.
