  Canticle
These three canticles are sometimes referred to as the "evangelical canticles", as they are taken from the Gospel of St. Luke.
In the Breviary the canticle begins with verse 57, and ends with verse 56 (Dan., iii); and the penultimate verse is clearly an interpolation, "Benedicamus Patrem, et Filium.
The hymn may then be defined as a metrical or rhythmical praise of God; and the psalm, accompanied sacred song or canticle, either taken from the Psalms or from some less authoritative source (St. Augustine declaring that a canticle may be without a psalm but not a psalm without a canticle).

 On "Canticle to the Waterbirds"
Everson's canticle to the birds is an exhortation for them, in their turn, to lift their songs to God.
Such impositions are alike in taking the immediate experience of the physical world to be "a secondary thing." The waterbirds of this canticle, by virtue of being "lesser," become primary in their value and contribution.
Despite itself, then, the poem makes us see that "conformity" needn't be "strict," that nature is in fact single and multiple, that the opposition Everson offers to humans (to be either isolated or "utterly" subjugated) is at odds with how the natural world that he sees as sacramental actually works.

The actual meaning of Canticles is not, however, to be limited to any one of these applications, but is to be appropriated to the elected "bride of God in her relation of devotion to God".
Among the Latins Ambrose made such frequent use of the Canticle of Canticles that a whole commentary may be developed from the many applications, rich in piety, that he made of it (Migne, P. L., XV, 1851 sqq.).
Yet the Canticle of Canticles can be proved to be a flawlessly consecutive poem by the employment of rules for poetical allegory and its interpretation which are fixed and according to the canons of art.

The Canticle was composed during the long imprisonment St. John underwent at Toledo from the beginning of December 1577 till the middle of August of the following year.
One of these poetical works, the fruit of his imprisonment, was the “Spiritual Canticle,” which, as the reader will notice, is an abridged paraphrase of the Canticle of Canticles, the Song of Solomon, wherein under the image of passionate love are described the mystical sufferings and longings of a soul enamored with God.
When St. Teresa was obliged to write on some mystical phenomena, the nature of which she did not fully understand, or whose effect she had forgotten, God granted her unexpectedly a repetition of her former experiences so as to enable her to fully study the matter and report on it.

 Canticle Directory
Canticles were originally self-contained songs that were used within the liturgies of the Office and Mass to praise God.
The canticles that are catalogued in D.I.L.S. are the liturgical canticles rather than the so-called 'monastic' canticles, since the former were far more widely known and used in the pre-Conquest era than the latter, and there is plentiful evidence of their influence on Old English prose and verse.
The following list provides the links for each specific canticle, and classifies it with M or O which refer to Mass or Office as the liturgy where the specific canticle is to be found.

His short stories have been collected into a number of volumes but he is remembered principally today for the one novel published in his lifetime, A Canticle for Leibowitz, and, to a lesser extent, its sequel, Leibowitz and the Wild Horse Woman.

This is a liturgical setting of the New Testament canticle from Evening Prayer II (Second Vespers) for Sundays.
The five verses of the canticle are set polyphonically (a la William Byrd) for three a cappella voices: alto, tenor, bass.
While obviously a perfect choice for Solemn Vespers, the Canticle of the Lamb can also make a fine entrance or communion processional, especially during Eastertide (C) when the Second Reading is from Revelation, or on the Solemnity of Christ the King.
