The title for this collection of pieces is the English translation of "Canciones del Alma," four songs by Carlos Surinach which set the poetry of St. John of the Cross. This Spanish saint from Avila has been somewhat overshadowed by his more famous contemporary, St. Teresa. With her he founded the Discalced (barefoot) Carmelites, and devoted himself to the promotion of this holy order of nuns and friars. The success of their order led to several struggles for its control within the wider Catholic church, and in 1577 St. John fell afoul of one such dispute.
