Lux Angelis, "Light of the Angels", is an advanced string orchestra work that may be played with optional grade 1 strings, grade 2 strings, keyboard and percussion. The notion of light pervading the universe is, in the composer's opinion, both physical and personal. This is represented to some extent by the use of suspended chords and an abundance of harmonics. The appearance of the interval of the seventh throughout the work is somewhat related to the concept that the world was created in seven days. There are two interjecting sections that have much rhythmic drive and dissonance which alludes to the dark forces that at times are a challenge in our lives. In the composer's opinion, light will always be more resilient and enduring and piece accordingly concludes with what can be imagined to be a chorus of angels bathed in heavenly light.
