Arianna Rinaldi will give voice to the song of the angels.

The Fourth is the seal of that world and in its fourth movement there is a magnificent song of the angels praising life in paradise.
In Das himmlische Leben (Celestial life), in fact, it is described with childish eyes as a sort of heavenly place, in which wine is drunk at will, asparagus and beans are eaten, the saints are intent on slaughtering animals and cooking.
It is an ironic and grotesque vision, in which a shrewd interpretation of the dogmas of Catholicism (St. happy in the heavenly one.
Here are some verses: “We enjoy the pleasures of heaven, therefore we flee earthly things. The worldly tumult is not heard in the sky! He lives everything in the sweetest quiet. We lead an angelic life, and yet we are also very cheerful; we dance and jump, jump and sing. St. Peter in heaven is watching us, St. John lets the little lamb go, and Herod, the butcher, is spying ... ».
