Beschreibung
Angelus ad Virginem describes the Annunciation, the biblical event in which
the Angel Gabriel communicated with Mary about the forthcoming birth of
Jesus. The tranquil music is intended to depict the angelic voice of Gabriel
and the voice of Mary, through its chant-like nature and exotic, shifting
harmonies. Douglas Mason began his musical training as a chorister in
Gloucester Cathedral Choir under John Sanders. He subsequently read music at
Durham University, and went on to train as a music teacher at Leeds
University, also singing professionally as a lay clerk in the Choir of Leeds
Parish Church at this time. As a composer, Douglas focuses on choral works
in particular, and he has also written and arranged music for schools. As a
performer Douglas has sung on numerous television and radio broadcasts and
appeared on recordings for several labels, including Abbey, Priory and ASC
records. For several years he was also a member of the William Byrd Singers
directed by Stephen Wilkinson.
