The Angel in the Marble - Custom Marching Productions

The Angel in the Marble

"Every block of stone has a statue inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it. I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free." - Michelangelo.

Features original music in addition to Respighi, Frank Ticheli, and Eric Whitacre.

  • Intro - melodies from Pines of Rome are passed around the winds as the full ensemble comes together for the opening climax
  • Work Begins - original music portrays the thrill of potential as the stone is first carved
  • Discovery - the calm chorale of Ticheli's Angels in the Architecture evokes the zen of creativity as the angel begins to take shape
  • Set Them Free - the triumphant finale as the angels are set free, set to Eric Whitacre's "Fly to Paradise"
