Levitation

Angel Bocanegra (b. 2005)

This piece invites the listener into a moment of pure levitation–a suspension between motion and stillness, where time seems to pause. Inspired by the captured poise of the diver mid-air, the music evokes a sense of rising above it all: empowered, weightless, untouchable. It explores themes of grandeur, freedom, and the quiet strength found in floating beyond the world below.
