Your conductor obviously doesn't read the bible...Every appearance of an angel in the bible is that of a 'male'...The bible does away with a lot of religious superstition...

Artistic license (he was jokingly making a point about the sound). Faure wrote that Requiem to demonstrate to a little old lady in the congregation what Heaven would be like. The Angleorum being, "May the angels lead you into paradise..." is really supposed to be more of a cherubim sound than archangel.
