St. Cecilia's Torch

The artist often carries a torch. This artist's torch is handed down from generation to generation. Once the torch is lit in the artists hand, there is a burning desire to create. The ideas rattle through the minds of those carrying the torch, so they are compelled to sing, paint, dance or write.

St. Cecilia's torch is an artist's torch that drives the art through a music (rhythm, melody, harmony, counterpoint). Often this torch is carried by musicians but not exclusively. Ken Russel makes movies driven by music (St. Cecilia's torch). Matisse paints with a singing palette (St. Cecilia's torch).

Who else has carried this torch? Who with this torch has left the bounds of sound?
