The tale of Angelystor was relaved by Rev. Elias Owen in 1887: "There was a tradition in this parish that on All-Hallows’ Eve a Spirit announced from the altar the names of those who were doomed to die in the coming year. The Spirit was locally called Angelystor. Those who were anxious to know whether they or their neighbours had a longer time to live stood underneath the east window on that eve, and anxiously listened for the dreaded revelation. It is related of a tailor, who was reckoned a wit, and affected disbelief in the Spirit story, that he announced his intention to prove the thing a myth, and so, one Nos G’lan Geua’, Shon Robert, as he was called, proceeded to the church just before midnight, and, to his horror, he heard his own name — “Shon ap Robert,” uttered by the Spirit. “Hold, hold!” said the tailor, “I am not quite ready!” But, ready or not ready, it made no difference to the messenger of death, for that year the tailor died." The tones played by the organ and piano were extracted from a spectral analysis of two crow calls in the churchyard at St. Digain. The piece also incorporates material from Purcell ('An Old Epitaph', also known as 'Gabriel John'), and from Welsh mystic Charubel's 'Grimoire Sympathia': a text on the signs and mantas of trees and plants.
