This brief piece features a soprano singing a wordless vocalise on top of a string orchestra with a solo violin part.
Lyrics for this song have yet to be released
Song of the Angel was written by John Tavener.
The composer’s program note said,
The music should be sung and played with restrained ecstasy. It should not bring pounding of the heart, nor should it lead to melancholy.
