All except two pieces on
Gifts of the Angels are taken from eight previous
Steven Halpern releases. As the title suggests, the album highlights music with an angelic presence.
Halpern writes that these pieces represent those "'magic moments' that occur at least once while recording each album...when the room fills with a luminous light...when time seems to stand still." Also appearing on the album are harpist
Georgia Kelly, from the Ancient Echoes album, and Diana Allen on the vocals to a new piece, "Angels on High." ~ Carol Wright
