vox angelican.

Brit.

/ˌvɒks anˈdʒɛlᵻkə/, U.S.

/ˌvɑks ˌænˈdʒɛləkə/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin vox angelica.

Etymology: < post-classical Latin vox angelica (1788 or earlier denoting an organ stop; early 18th cent. or earlier in general sense ‘voice of an angel, or like that of an angel’) < vōx voice n. + angelica , feminine of angelicus angelic adj.¹

Any of various types of organ stop producing a tone supposedly suggestive of the voices of angels; esp. one having an 8-foot pitch and two pipes to each note which are tuned to slightly different pitches so as to produce an undulating tone when sounded together. Cf. voix céleste at voix n.
