Work introduction
The Hymn of the Seraphim is unique in biblical literature, as unlike other prayers, it is pronounced by the angels directly in the presence of God.
During a vision, the prophet Isaiah witnesses the sublime proclamation of praise by the angels before the heavenly throne and reports it in his book, the same hymn will first be taken up again in the Apocalypse of John, and is a central part of the Christian liturgy, through its famous translation in Latin "Sanctus", today recited in all the languages of the world, both in the Jewish and in the Christian liturgy of all confessions.
Nowadays this hymn is therefore one of the most famous literary compositions in the history of humanity, in this version, the composer wanted to return to the origins of this splendid literary text, resuming it in its original language.
