Description
The poet Audrey Vaughan imagines a dance of angels (or cherubim or other heavenly creatures). My setting of her poem, in Dorian mode, floats in all the alternating excitement and peacefulness of the poem.
It was originally written for girls' choir (Soprano, Mezzo and Alto with piano).
The sound sample here in the version transposed for men's choir (alto 1 alto 2 and tenor)
is performed by Matthew Curtis of www.choraltracks.com
Both versions are available in the zip file.
