With Gloriosus Franciscus, Anonima Frottolisti presents a cross-section of history of music relevant to the Franciscan ideal through the first three centuries of the history of the Order: this sequence of selected pieces reveals both the learned side of this music and it's closeness to "folk" devotion during the period straddling the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, as a symbolic homage to the city where Anonima Frottolisti was born (Assisi): "Where the coast is more fringed than that of the coast, a sun was born in the world, as the Ganges sometimes does, but whoever speaks of it does not say Ascesi, which would say short, but East, if you really want to." (Dante Alighieri, Divina Commedia, Paradiso, 11th Canto). The ensemble Arnonima Frottolisti is an experienced group, which specializes in early music and medieval music. Their previous recordings have been widely well-received.
