Angel of Light

Rooted in a distinctive period of Shaker history (1837-1847), this multimovement work reflects the visionary repertoire written at that time.  Three movements (Sound of Salvation; Heavenly Purity and Glory of the Faithful Souls) are Shaker anthems presented in their original forms, while the remaining movements are freely adapted and reimagined from their original sources. Movements can be sung individually or within the context of this seven-movement a cappella work. Contents include Sweet Angels Come Nearer; Woben Mesa Crelana; Lovely Angels; Vum Vive Vum; O Niske Vane; Beautiful Treasure and With My Blessing, I Have Blessed You. Some movements feature a soprano soloist.
