Dawnsong: Vocalise

This serene music is an arrangement of Scene XIV from the composer's oratorio "Paradiso," which is a setting of the third part of Dante's Divine Comedy (Commedia). The music is an evocation of Dante's passage into the hightest realms of heaven. The vocal parts are wordless, unaccompanied, and sublime, representing a song that accompanies his transformation of consciousness as he is surrounded by "love that moves the sun and other stars."
