680160683130. I
have always been
fascinated with the
concept of archangels -
huge, supernatural beings
with gigantic wings who
visit earth to carry out
their heavenly tasks.
Archangels are the chief
angels in Judeo-Christian
and Islamic religions.
The precise number of
these high-ranking
celestial beings varies
from one religious source
to another (typically
from four to seven). The
three movements of
Archangels depict
Michael, Raphael, and
Gabriel - the three
archangels most commonly
referenced. Michael is a
warrior who is ever
vigilant to march into
battle against forces of
evil. In art, he is often
portrayed with his wings
spread open in mid-flight
and wielding a large
sword that is raised into
an attack position. The
first movement begins in
darkness with the
foreboding sound of his
large, beating wings.
Suddenly, Michael appears
in all of his terrible
glory and wreaks havoc on
an army of demons.
Raphael is a Hebraic name
that translates to God
heals, and he is in
charge of all manners of
healing. Artwork of
Raphael typically shows
him holding a staff, and
he is often pictured with
the round cheeks
associated with a young
cherub. In this quiet
middle movement, Raphael
gently makes his rounds
to tend to the sick.
Gabriel is the heralder
of news. In Christianity,
Gabriel's purpose is
quite significant: he
appears to Zechariah to
announce the forthcoming
birth of John the
Baptist, and to Mary to
announce the forthcoming
birth of Jesus. Gabriel
is often depicted holding
a scepter, a stem of
lilies, or an unfurled
scroll. In this final
movement of the piece,
Gabriel trumpets his news
for all to hear.
