The Rise and Fall of Rome
The 2005 season continues the Cardinals commitment to excellence by bringing you their version of Key Poulan's The Rise and Fall of Rome. As we endeavor to bring you new ideas, we felt it best to look back into history for inspiration! One of the most interesting studies of excellence can be found in the history of Rome. Many great lessons have and continue to be learned by examining the great artists, musicians, politicians, generals, and leaders of the Roman Empire. The three movements of the piece: Chisels and Stone, Catacombs, and Pagan Dance and the Great Fire, will lead you through a journey of beautiful structures, secret worshiping and the fall of the once great empire.
