Argento has crafted a five-movement suite from his 1964 opera The Masque of Angels. Designed as a mini choral drama, it includes a Processional for the angels; the well-known Gloria; the colorful Arrival of the Archangels; amajestic Sanctus; and a joyful Recessional. Best for larger ensembles, this suite is a showcase for magnificent choral sound. Orchestra parts are available on rental.
