The gregorian chants of the Lauds and the Compline originated in monastic life. They announce the break of day and tell of approaching night – a symbol of death for the aging man. The songs are based on ancient psalms which speak of sorrow, hope, the search of meaning and a longing for paradise. The psalms hint at the ancient yearning for safety and comfort, a motif that pervades world literature – impressive and timeless in St. Francis' «Cantico del Frate Sole», the closing chant of the Lauds in Mistail.
