‘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. My intention in 72 Angels was to focus on what the religious, spiritual, esoteric and mythological traditions of different cultures have in common. 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.

In its versatility and smoothness of expression, the saxophone is closest to the human voice: this is the proof of this Album, which the NDR choir has recorded together with the Raschèr Saxophone quartet.
in addition to several A cappella pieces, nine(birds)here combines works for choir and saxophone, all of which were first published by composers Ian Wilson and Ivan Moody. Both born in 1964, they compose stylistically in very different ways. While Wilson was primarily inspired in his work by the music and art of the modern age, Moody’s works are characterized by his belonging to the Orthodox Church and his preference for religious, mystical themes.
