“The group’s second record, Gomory: The Book of Angels, Vol. 25  is astonishingly beautiful, a high point in the series: The singers’ individually rigorous tones and dispositions and arranging impulses surround the music and give it another dimension of originality; it sounds medieval and new at the same time.”  Ben Ratliff, The New York Times

Mycale is a group of four vocalists-arrangers, put together by Zorn in 2009 to create an acapella quartet that would collaboratively arrange selections from his Book of Angels compositions.

Expressive and passionate, Ayelet Rose Gottlieb, Sofia Rei, Sara Serpa and Malika Zarra are four of the most creative vocalists around. Each a band-leader, composer, arranger and improviser in her own right, they come together here in an intimate setting to interpret Zorn’s music and give it the flavours of their diverse cultural backgrounds. With lyrics in Hebrew, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Arabic drawn from Rumi, Fernando Pessoa, Heraclitus, The Hebrew Bible and more, the Masada vocal project is hailed as one of the most hauntingly beautiful installments in the entire Angels series.
