The Sealed Angel (Zapechatlennyi angel) is a Russian-language composition by Rodion Shchedrin in the form of liturgical music based on the story "The Sealed Angel" by Nikolay Leskov. The plot concerns a rural community which protects a religious icon that has been confiscated by officials and sealed with wax. The work is written for soprano, mezzo or alto, tenor, choir boy soloists, flute or oboe, and choir.[1]
The work has nine continuous movements.[2][3] Performances typically last just under an hour.[2][3]
