Psalm 148 form the core of this canticle. After each of the lessons from the Bible, a canticle or hymn is sung. Monteverdi devotes a movement to every verse of the canticle, and two to the doxology. In eastern tradition the canticle is found in Eastern Orthodox Vespers. Another Biblical Canticle, the "Nunc Dimittis" (), is either read or sung at Vespers. It may also be used as a canticle in the Lutheran service of Matins. As a canticle, the "Magnificat" has frequently been set to music. "Scarborough Fair/Canticle" performed similarly. The "Canticle of the Sun" is a cello concerto/choral hybrid, dedicated to Mstislav Rostropovich. The final Canticle was another Eliot setting, his juvenile poem "Death of Saint Narcissus". Although brief, the canticle abounds in Old Testament allusions. The Latin canticle "Benedicite Dominum" is based on the "song of the three youths". Draper paraphrased the words of the Canticle and set them to music. "A Canticle for Leibowitz" was the only novel Miller published during his lifetime. It is the B-side to the hit single "Scarborough Fair/Canticle".
