St. Thérèse of Lisieux

This book is in Portuguese.

The eight pieces Thérèse composed for her community’s feasts between 1894 and 1897 (RP 1–8): two on Joan of Arc, the Angels at the Crib, Jesus at Bethany, the Divine Little Beggar of Christmas, the Flight into Egypt, the Triumph of Humility, and St Stanislaus Kostka. Mixing dialogue and sung verses, they were performed by the sisters. The authentic text of the Centenary edition, from the archives of the Carmel of Lisieux.

Contents

Source: Thérèse's text only. The editors' apparatus is left out: the NEC line numbers (5, 10, 15 …) and stanza numbers printed in the text, the links to the musical scores ("Voir la partition"), and the bracketed notes on leaves Thérèse inserted ("[Ici Thérèse a inséré une feuille volante…]"). Speakers' names are set in bold, stage directions in italics, and runs of verse lines are kept as lines. A sentence that runs over a folio side is joined. Facsimile and score links are not kept.
