Luca Massaglia plays no. 1 of "Three St. Francis Legends" by Carson Cooman (op. 1208)

Luca Massaglia (www.lucamassagl...) plays "St. Francis divests himself of all worldy wealth" (no. 1 of "Three St. Francis Legends", op. 1208) by American composer Carson Cooman (b. 1982).
The composer writes: ""Three St. Francis Legends" (2017) are dedicated to Andreas Willscher. They are inspired by stories about St. Francis of Assisi as told in the "Fioretti di San Francesco".
1. "St. Francis divests himself of all worldly wealth": Francis was born into a prosperous merchant family and lived a high-spirited and hedonistic young life. A serious illness led him to a spiritual crisis that caused him to divest himself of all of his worldly wealth and to live a life of poverty. The music is a chorale: repeating and gradually divesting itself of rich harmony and volume to a quiet, simple end".
