An anecdotal tale of betrayal, despair, retribution, and redemption all set to a soundscape of vast choirs, hellish textures, and triumphant resolve, partake in the story of the Fallen Angel.
Movement 1 sets up this production with us having the protagonist ie the Fallen Angel, being cast out to the chaotic sounds of Dies Irae. Movement 2 takes a more introspective approach as our protagonist lies in despair and sorrowfully seeks forgiveness. This movement culminates into the opening hit of Carmina Burana, which transitions us into Movement 3 where the Angel now seeks to escape and seek atonement. Finally, in Movement 4, we follow the protagonist back up the Golden Stairway as they are bestowed their wings again, no longer fallen, but risen.
