The Angels Come Again (SATB) was commissioned by Deryk Forster in 1998-1999 for the Chamber Choir of Magee Secondary School, Vancouver, B.C., Canada.
It deals with the problem and challenges of grief.

Inspired by a music student of mine who worked as a trauma nurse. She would always say when someone died or was near death ‘the angels have come again’. Thus the title of this piece. The prayer is based on the desperation of those left behind who are filled with despair and loss.

Special Interest is created in this dramatic piece by a  mix of Latin, Hebrew and English words.

A useful introduction to modern repertoire.
