Biography

Angels Of Venice  was founded by harpist Carol Tatum in 1993.  The group's core sound is harp, cello, bouzouki and flute and combines Medieval, early Renaissance and original Alternative World and Neoclassical styles.  With female vocals, the songs are sung in English, Galacian-Portuguese, Latin and archaic French languages.  With male vocals, the music is rock influenced.


Angels Of Venice combines ancient music with modern arrangements of songs from the 12th century and early Renaissance, traditional songs and hymns as well as original neoclassical compositions, taking the listener on a sonically rich journey through various time periods and countries around the world.
