Additional info/contents	Angels and demons are just two of the mythical creatures that appear in Marc Cunningham’s imaginative three-part composition for concert band. The ‘good’ are always shown in opposition to the ‘evil’ in this work. Musically, this con_x001D_flict is expressed as diatonic versus chromatic, consonance versus dissonance, and darker sounds opposed to lighter-sounding sections. Which is victorious at the end of the piece? You might be in for a surprise…

Programme notes *: The duality of angels and demons in music: An analysis of good and evil In the world of music, the complex duality of good and evil is often reflected in the form of angels and demons. These archetypal figures serve as symbols of positive and negative forces present in the human experience and have a profound influence on the musical representation of light and shadow, harmony and dissonance. Angels are traditionally seen as messengers of goodness, purity and light. In music, they are often represented by bright, majestic melodies and celestial sounds. This music can convey a sense of hope, joy and comfort that inspires and uplifts the listener. Examples of musical depictions of angels can be found in pieces such as Gabriel Fauré's "Requiem" or Handel's "Messiah". On the other hand, there are demons, who are seen as the embodiment of evil, temptation and darkness. In music, they are often represented by gloomy, dissonant harmonies and threatening sounds. This music can create a feeling of fear, unease and restlessness that casts a spell over the listener. Examples of musical depictions of demons can be found in works such as Mussorgsky's "A Night on Bald Mountain" or Verdi's "Macbeth". The combination of angels and demons in music is not only an artistic representation of good and evil, but also a reflection of human nature and the dualistic forces that exist within each of us. Through the musical representation of these archetypes, composers can explore complex emotional and spiritual themes and provide listeners with a deeper insight into the human experience. Ultimately, the duality of angels and demons in music is a powerful reminder that good and evil are often inextricably linked and that there is within each of us the ability to embrace light and darkness and to recognise that life is made up of a constant dance between these two poles.
