View performance history...‘Musica Andelorum, inspired by mediaeval paintings portraying multitudes of angels playing instruments, has a marvellously wrought shape. And unlike the oft-heard fragmentary style honoured by many living composers, it displayed, in this splendid performance, a pleasing continuity which generated keen anticipation.’
Huddersfield Examiner
‘...The elevated euphony of Margaret Lucy Wilkins’ Musica Angelorum was all the more welcome...this new score, with its references to the angelic instrumentalists that populate mediaeval art, emerged freshly minted in a concert pervaded by the all too familiar gambits of the avant garde’s more recent offerings’
Yorkshire Post
