‘72 Angels is a large-scale work for mixed choir and saxophone quartet. It is structured as seventytwo prelude-evocations and an epilogue. Each prelude sets to music one of the seventy- two names derived from an esoteric interpretation of Exodus 14:19-21. Angelic beings, spiritual guides, higher energies or messengers are a common theme throughout many belief systems in human history.

I would like to focus on what unites us through shared connections. These seventy-two evocations celebrate all angels in their multifaceted variations… My hope is that every listener or musician will adopt his or her own personal interpretation’ - Lera Auerbach The voices of the Netherlands Chamber Choir, directed by Peter Dijkstra, bring these angels to life here, accompanied by the Raschèr Saxophone Quartet.

Camille Thomas: ‘For this recording we immediately thought of playing Russian music.
