About the show
Enter an abandoned cathedral, where time has stopped but nature thrives. From the solemn stillness of stone to a vibrant transformation of blooms and light, this show portrays a journey of renewal and beauty, including arrangements of Lux Aurumque and Phil Collins' "Dance into the Light". Includes a full SFX package.
- Statuesque - A hauntingly beautiful introduction captures the solemn grace of an abandoned cathedral.
- Nature's Canvas - This dynamic opening movement portrays green sprouts of plant life gradually overtaking the imposing structures of the cathedral. Includes parts of Respighi's "Church Windows".
- Lifebloom - As light begins to creep in, the first blossoms of color enter the scene, accompanied by a stirring arrangement of "Lux Aurumque" featuring a wind quartet or quintet (flexible instrumentation).
- Awakening - The cathedral bursts into joyous life in this rousing finale of Phil Collins' "Dance into the Light".
Alternate themes: Regrowth, Awakened Cathedral
