The composition represents a redirection and recomposition of material used for ‘Angel Clothed with Cloud’. It is derived from a 78-rpm shellac recording of an opera by Benjamin Godard, entitled Jocelyn, and released in 1918. The samples derive from a solo performed by Mademoiselle Micailowa, a Polish opera singer, called ‘Angels Guard Thee’. They have been reordered, stretched, reversed, pitch shifted and layered to create a choir of voices that sing a melody which is not part of the original music.
