Additional Information
Between Heaven and Earth sets a single line of text from the Book of Revelations (19:17), I saw an angel standing in the sun, which is juxtaposed to a line of self-doubt, And I looked up to the skies and wondered. This text is set to musical material based on a short fragment taken from a 10/11th century trope setting of the Gloria in excelsis Deo, which is intoned by the first tenor at the start of the work.
This is a version for vocal quartet consisting of Counter-tenor, 2 Tenors and Bass.
