Angelic Voices

by David R. Gillingham

5 players

Instrumentation: Bells, Vibraphone 1, Vibraphone 2, Marimba 1 (4.0-octave), Marimba 2 (4.3-octave)

The metallic sound of the bells and vibraphones combined with the warm, woody sound of the marimbas expresses the wonder and mysteriousness of the angels who are ever-present in our lives. Fluctuating tonality, sweeping melodic lines and colorful chord progressions enhance the ethereal ambiance of the work.
