A Prayer of St. Anselm
Anselm of Canterbury (c. 1033 – 21 April 1109), a benedictine abbot and philosopher and theologian, left significant writings, some of great complexity.

This setting was composed for joint performance by the Caritas Chamber Choir (Canterbury, UK) and the Saint Mary’s University Chamber Singers (Winona, Minnesota, USA), on March 2nd, 2017.
