“NOTHING IS MORE APT, THAN MUSIC TO RAISE MAN TO GREAT DEEDS & CHIEFLY TO INSPIRE HIM WITH THE DEGREE OF COURAGE NECESSARY TO BRAVE DANGERS OF WAR”
-PLUTARCH
This narrative model was designed to create a memory of the first band in the UK, also known as “The Royal Artillery Band”, originating in 1557 and played in the Royal Artillery Barracks.
In 2014, they played a farewell in Woolwich to move to a new home with new members.
The model is designed as a music box that contains a map showing how the band spread from Woolwich throughtout all London and the UK in general. It includes a stage that rotates by turning the right side that slowly reveals the map and the monument to the band as a memento of it.
