Snow Angel

Zusatztext The composer writes that: 'The work asks listeners to see the tremendous potential present in our children. It celebrates love, beauty, and the strength that a child's voice can bring to our troubled world.' The work's musical language is direct and unchallenging, aiming to create an 'ethereal and mystical realm' (as noted on the composer's website), though contrast is provided with a brief change into an 'emphatic anthem with a distinctly African feel' (provided in part by the added drum). This contrast matches well the hip Angel present in Narration 2, complete with tattoos and nose piercing.
