The five Canticles constitute a series of five musical works by composer Benjamin Britten. The pieces were written at various points in his career, with three of them written as memorials. Instrumentation differs on each piece, and several are based on non-sacred texts. A review in Opera Today notes, "Britten didn't draw upon the Scriptures for the texts of his canticles, which resemble cantatas more than church hymns in scale and structure, but an intense religious spirit pervades them all." Critic Peter Evans notes the works contain a "mood of spiritual elevation intense enough to demand realization in an ambitious musical structure."

- Les 5 Cantiques sont une série de 5 compositions écrites par Benjamin Britten sur plusieurs périodes de sa carrière, trois d'entre elles comme mémoriaux. Les instrumentations de chaque pièce sont différentes et certaines d'entre elles sont basées sur des textes profanes. Une critique dans Opera Today mentionne que « Britten n'a pas utilisé les Écritures comme textes de ses cantiques, qui ressemblent plus à des cantates qu'à des hymnes religieux en échelle et en structure, mais sont tous imprégnés d'une intense spiritualité ». Le critique Peter Evans note que l'œuvre contient un « esprit d'élevation spirituelle suffisamment intense pour nécessiter sa réalisation dans une structure musical ambitieuse ». (fr)

Una recensione su Opera Today osserva: "Britten non ha attinto alle Scritture per i testi dei suoi cantici, che assomigliano a cantate più che a inni di chiesa per scala e struttura, ma un intenso spirito religioso li pervade tutti". Il critico Peter Evans osserva che le opere contengono "uno stato d'animo di elevazione spirituale abbastanza intenso da richiedere la realizzazione in un'ambiziosa struttura musicale". (it)
