Programme Note
Angele Dei (Angel of God) is a prayer to the guardian angel, suitable for general liturgical use, in particular as an introit, anthem or blessing at the Feast of the Holy Archangels or for concert performance.
The piece was composed as a parting gift for Kate’s great friend and colleague Harriet Gedge. Recorded by the BBC Singers, conducted by Bob Chilcott on 19 November 2010 at St Paul’s Church, Knightsbridge, London, it was subsequently sung at Harriet’s funeral in Brecon Cathedral on 16 December 2010.
Ángele Dei,
qui custos es mei,
me, tibi commissum pietáte supérna,
hodie illúmina, custódi,
rege et gubérna.
Amen.
Angel of God,
my guardian dear,
to whom God’s love commits me here,
ever this day,
be at my side
to light and love,
to rule and guide.
Amen.
