Work Overview
As she sits apart at the wedding feast, St Cecilia sings a song in her heart to God. She invokes the protection of angels, and meditates on the familiar phrases and ideas from the Psalms that speak to her current predicament. As she sings, she feels a growing, almost ecstatic, strength; as if accompanied by the great "cloud of witnesses" of the faith, encouraging her on. Her song ends alone, as it began, although now rather more hopeful than before.
