Poets and composers have regularly been inspired by angels for texts, images or melodies. Peter Schindler has set to music an angel song cycle based on the wonderful lyrics of Hugo Ball, Martin Luther, Eduard Morike, Friedrich Ruckert, from Des Knaben Wunderhorn, as well as Psalm 91, which can be performed at any time of the year, as a whole or partially, as a concert interlude or an encore, and of course during Christmastime. The six angel songs can be performed with different vocal settings (1- to 4-part S, SA, SSA or SATB) and piano accompaniment. All four vocal versions can be combined as desired and sung simultaneously, as well as - additionally or alternatively - with string quartet/quintet. For each song there is a descant notated in C or B flat ad lib. In this way, the songs can be compiled individually for singers of all ages and easily rehearsed and performed. All possibilities are open for the joint concert experience of adult and children's choirs.
