This
dreamlike and evocative
piece from Peter Maxwell
Davies was originally
composed for Flute and
orchesta. Here it is
presented as Flute with
Piano reduction and still
captures the wonder and
sanctuary of the
composer's home,
surrounded by seabirds
and seals that fire the
imagination in childlike
ways, evoking images of
mermaids and angels. The
Flute solo is both
tranquil and highly
virtuosic and is well
supported by the Piano
accompaniment. The piece
was first performed in
May 1999 at the Royal
Concert Hall, Dublin.

I
have always been
fascinated with the
concept of archangels -
huge, supernatural beings
with gigantic wings who
visit earth to carry out
their heavenly tasks.
Archangels are the chief
angels in Judeo-Christian
and Islamic religions.
The precise number of
these high-ranking
celestial beings varies
from one religious source
to another (typically
from four to seven). The
three movements of
Archangels depict
Michael, Raphael, and
Gabriel - the three
archangels most commonly
referenced. Michael is a
warrior who is ever
vigilant to march into
battle against forces of
evil. In art, he is often
portrayed with his wings
spread open in mid-flight
and wielding a large
sword that is raised into
an attack position. The
first movement begins in
darkness with the
foreboding sound of his
large, beating wings.
Suddenly, Michael appears
in all of his terrible
glory and wreaks havoc on
an army of demons.
Raphael is a Hebraic name
that translates to God
heals, and he is in
charge of all manners of
healing. Artwork of
Raphael typically shows
him holding a staff, and
he is often pictured with
the round cheeks
associated with a young
cherub. In this quiet
middle movement, Raphael
gently makes his rounds
to tend to the sick.
Gabriel is the heralder
of news. In Christianity,
Gabriel's purpose is
quite significant: he
appears to Zechariah to
announce the forthcoming
birth of John the
Baptist, and to Mary to
announce the forthcoming
birth of Jesus. Gabriel
is often depicted holding
a scepter, a stem of
lilies, or an unfurled
scroll. In this final
movement of the piece,
Gabriel trumpets his news
for all to hear.

Parts for String Quartet
No.3 'Angel's Music' by
Bent Sorensen (1988)
Premiered by the Arditti
String Quartet at the
Danish Radio Concert Hall
16 November 1988. Score
available: KP00250 The
composer writes: 'Even
when I was writing Adieu,
I knew that I wished to
write Angels Music. The
title existed in an
incomplete form in my
mind and gradually more
and more ideas and a few
outlines became clear.
The actual work on Angels
Music was started in
Rome, where I spent the
autumn of 1987 staying at
The Danish Academy.
Whether this stay has
influenced the quartet or
not is impossible to say.
however, it is true to
say that, in the Roman
churches I visited, I saw
countless angels playing
in the top of frescoes
and altars. Without these
angels, together with the
many crackled-gold
paintings in this city
and my general
fascination with the
Italian renaissance
painter Fra Angelico, (in
fact there are only a few
paintings by him in Rome,
but even his name..!) I
am not sure my quartet
would have been what it
is. Anyway I do feel that
there is a bit of Italy
in the piece. The angels
apart there are, in the
short rhythmic agitating
part of the quartet,
reminiscences of the
Italian medieval Trotto
dance, and in the most
expressive part ofthe
piece there are flashes
of Puccini-like music.
From the very beginning
of my work on the
quartet, the distant,
extremely muted sound in
the high register which
opens the piece, was on
my mind. A sound satiated
with a dense heterophonic
and polyphonic texture of
elegiac melody and
vibrating trills. I
imagined that little
songs (maybe angel songs)
could be created in this
density, these songs
constantly echoing
themselves. Gradually as
this sound got a more and
more concrete musical and
instrumental form, I
felt, that not only
should the little songs
be created, played and
die out in an echo, but
also that the general
pattern of the quartet
should give the feeling
of music which, from the
distance, is getting
closer and closer,
culminates and at last
disappears like an echo.
Related to this, the
general pattern of Angels
Music is divided into
three: a pre-echo,
culmination and echo..
The relationship between
the three part is 5: 6:
4. The reason why I can
say this precisely and
prosaically is that it
was necessary to me to
mark the overall
guidelines before I
started to compose. I had
to do this in order to
enable the relationships
to crawl from the small
cells into the general
pattern.'
