Statement

Ubi Caritas - music, wedding

This piece speaks of God's love. This was a gift to a couple who had this sung at their wedding.

Historically it is the final antiphon sung in Latin, traditionally on Maundy Thursday Evening Mass. The original hymn is very long. Only three verses are typically used now; the first verse is here in both English and Latin.
Its author is unknown, but it was most probably written in France during the 10th century. A more contemporary musical setting is by Maurice Durufle (1902--1986), a French composer,and organist.
I chose to base my letter style on a rounded Gothic from an Italian manuscript book from 1388 to about 1425.

The image can be customized as a giclée be a larger or smaller print for framing.
