MICHELANGELO THE MUSICAL
Composer
Beverly Hills, CA
WRITER/COMPOSER/SINGER/ACTOR

I am writing a musical about Michelangelo - Angelo Nel Marmo. I am doing the book, music and arrangements. It's a daunting task; challenging but good for the soul!

This is a work in progress. I will add more songs when they are done to another website because I can't add anymore songs here. Julio Hanson, Barbara Markay and Joseph Armillas and myself are the vocalists in these compositions. I am a basso cantante who was fortunate to have Jerome Hines as my teacher, mentor and friend. He was one of the greatest basso at the Met, his shoes will never be filled. We also have the same birthday, we are Scorpios! Jerry, you are always in my heart and in my voice.

Seeing the statue of David up close in Florence, then the Sistine Chapel and the Judgment Day in Rome is a life changing experience! I stood in awe in amazement of Micheleangelo's genius. And in wonderment of the incredible, prodigious talent of Michelangelo as a sculptor, painter, architect and poet. Isn't it amazing that Leonardo Da Vinci was also living and creating back then too! I wanted to add Leonardo in the musical, he was Michelangelo's competitor but that will have to wait until another musical! Please do yourself a favor and head to Italy if you hadn't done so already.

The musical is part fact and a lot of fantasy since time will be an abstract part of the play. The first act will cover the making of the statues of David and the Pieta, his life as a sculptor when he was the most happiest. The first act ends with the death of Lorenzo Medici and the takeover of Florence by Savonarola. Greek's top three philosphers will be the Greek Chorus.

The second act will cover his life as a painter, his most trying and challenging period of his life. But yet the masterpieces that he created through the strife and torment are a testament to his faith in God. One of his loves of his life was Vittoria Collona who will act as his spirtual guide as Beatrice was to Dante in the Divine Comedy. It is a spirtual journey of an artist who gave his all to his art and though he felt he was not loved so much in his lifetime, his gift to the world is loved by all forever.

I have so much more research, writng and composing to do. But I hope to go into workshop soon. I miss the singing!
