La Vergini degli Angeli (from 'La Forza del Destino') - G. Verdi

Soprano, male choir and concert band.

In this religious aria Leonora - a dramatic soprano - along with the monks of the Madonna degli Angeli monastery, prays that God should not forsake her. The combination of soprano and male choir lends this aria, sung at the close of Act II, a solemn character.
