Air and Angels (rev. 2016)
I re-visited the poem “Air and Angels” by John Donne (1572-1631) here and there over the last few years, and now feel that I have a deeper understanding of the beautiful and ethereal text (i.e. “Love must not be, but take a body too”) in order to give it a more personal interpretation musically. So, I revised the song I wrote back in 2008 for a performance in August, and recorded it!
