THE ANGEL by Ivo Antognini

THE ANGEL by IVO ANTOGNINI (SATB, a cappella)

On a poem by William Blake (1757-1827)
I dreamt a dream! What can it mean?
And that I was a maiden Queen
Guarded by an Angel mild:
Witless woe was ne’er beguiled!
And I wept both night and day,
And he wiped my tears away;
And I wept both day and night,
And hid from him my heart’s delight.
So he took his wings, and fled;
Then the morn blushed rosy red.
I dried my tears, and armed my fears
With ten thousand shields and spears.
Soon my Angel came again;
I was armed, he came in vain;
For the time of youth was fled,
And grey hairs were on my head.

Matthew what a gift that you have. Your voices can sing so pure and it's so clear. I can honestly say many of us thank you. Purity that is so pure, that's your voice Matthew.

Another stunning composition. I first performed a piece of yours in high school with the state choir, and I've been a fan ever since.
However, whenever I recommend someone your compositions, I have no idea how to pronounce your name... mind setting the record straight?

Ah Ah Ah, that's funny, Elijah! Try to pronounce my name this way: "EEVO ANTOÑEENEE" . Thank you for being a fan of mine.
