A fable with music for narrator, mixed choir, and small orchestra, or oboe, bassoon, and piano This delightful work tells the story of the 14th-century Dominican mystic Heinrich Suso who, according to legend, notated the carol In dulci jubilo after it had been sung to him by a band of angels: he is unexpectedly aided by Sigismund, his donkey.
