Part One: Before the creation. Chaos ; The morning stars -- Part Two: Angels in scripture. Jacob ; Elisha ; Hail, Mary! ; Christ, the fair glory ; War in heaven -- Part Three: Angels in common life and at our death. Heaven is here ; A thousand thousand gleaming fires ; Funeral march for a boy ; Whoso dwelleth under the defence of the most High ; Lento maestoso ; Ye watchers and ye holy ones
