Michael is the warrior angel. Chief of the archangels. Defeater of the Satan – ‘the adversary’, Samael – whom he cast out of heaven.
Dum sacrum mysterium cerneret Joannes, archangelus Michael tuba cecinit.
‘As John beheld the sacred mystery, the archangel Michael sounded his trumpet.’
(Text from the plainchant for the Feast Day for St. Michael)
Archangels 1 – Michael was written for my dear friend, the pianist, Lauryna Sableviciute.
