Matins (Matinas, in Portuguese), one of the major
canonical hours, is the morning prayer in the
monasteries. Matins is the longest and most complex of
the daily cycle of services. It is normally celebrated
in the early morning, sometimes - especially in
monasteries - preceded by the Midnight Office, and
usually followed by the First Hour. Canonical hours or
Nones are divisions of time which serve as increments
between the prescribed prayers of the daily round. A
Book of Hours contains such a set of prayers.
The quoted psalm, Lauda Sion, sets the atmosphere for
the two-movement work that opens with a Gregorian-like
melody on the cello. The first movement is rather
meditative, while the second is full of morning joy and
energy. The accompaniment can be performed either by a
string quintet or a string orchestra. Duration
approximately 9 minutes.
