My arrangement of Joseph Dillon Ford's setting of the section from Dante's "Divine Comedy" describing the Gate of Paradise
The performance here is by the Octava Chamber Orchestra
The original choral version can be heard at

Dante's words (with English translation) are as follows:
O sanguis meus,
O blood of mine,
O superinfusa gratia Dei,
O grace of God poured into you,
sicut tibi, cui bis unquam coeli ianua reclusa,
to whom was Heaven’s Gate ever opened twice, as to you?
Così quel lume: ond’io m’attesi a lui;
So the light spoke, at which I directed my attention to him.
poscia rivolsi a la mia donna il viso,
Then I turned my face towards my Lady,
e quinci e quindi stupefatto fui;
and on this side and on that was stunned,
ché dentro a li occhi suoi ardeva un riso tal
since such a smile was blazing in her eyes,
ch’io pensai co’ miei toccar lo fondo
I thought with mine I had reached the end,
de la mia gloria e del mio paradiso.
of my grace, and my Paradise.
