Annotations: french text. Most part is identical with Cantata for soprano and orchestra, distinguished by a christian liturgical text taken out of Magnificat, but the score is very different from the Magnificat. Various pages are different: compare pages 6 and 7 from Cantata with pages 6 and 7 from La canzone di Euridice (see attachment)
