S. Dimpna Principessa D'irlanda

This Italian oratorio, composed by Carlo Boni, is based on the legend of Saint Dymphna, a 7th-century Irish princess who fled to Belgium to avoid her father's incestuous advances, only to be martyred by him. The oratorio is written for four voices - soprano, contralto, tenor and bass. It is a moving tribute to her life and her faith, and is sure to tug at the heartstrings of lovers of religious music.
