This poignant and moving work musically tells the tale of a chorus of angels (chorus angelorum) as they accompany two souls to the next world. Composed as a memorial piece, the music evolves from the initial “angels' song,” their journey to heaven, and their return to comfort those who mourn. The voice parts (performed on a synthesizer or by real voices) add an ethereal quality to this wonderful work. Dur: 6:25 (Grade 3-1/2)
