...summers ago in the quiet of his mountain lodge Organist Yon felt inspired to tell in music the story of the Irish Saint for whom his Cathedral was named. Back in New York he commissioned a libretto from Armando Romano, an editor of Il Progresso.

A Danish king had ruled it for years, and when the Saxon line regained the throne, Danish influence and Danish families still dictated to the country. Edward, called the Confessor, was a good man and later a canonized Saint, but a Danish earl and his sons dominated the king and wracked the land with their ambitions enterprises.
