The Delight Of Angels
Tina Davidson
About this work:
This vibrant, rhythmic work, commissioned for the Cassatt Quartet, is "a state replete with sweet tunes layered among the strings, fragments that circle in and out of consciousness, sustaining slender, shimmering textures" (Philadelphia Inquirer).
THE DELIGHT OF ANGELS is about the celestial beings, who, according to both Jewish and Christian tradition, reflect back the glory of God in word and song, worshipping ceaselessly.
