About the song

The defining feature of modern music is the breaking-down of all
traditional aesthetic conventions. Thereby unleashing complete
freedom in all aesthetic dimensions.
In the following musical work, I will present a classically structured
brief orchestral prelude with contemporary expressionistic
motives, possibly suitable for performance.
Portraying one of the most iconic epic poems known to the
literary and cultural world of the Mediterranean:

"ODYSSEY".

The sheet music is available in the following keys/versions: Full score of theatre performance Odyssey pdf.

AEAEA
Circe's Island


The final chapter of part one, finds the depleted crew hungry and
thirsty on the Island of the which Goddess Circe.
The men sent looking for food are bewildered as they get closer to
dwellings of the sorceress. They see wild animals, that rather than
attack, are just observing. The witch Goddess offers the men
bewitched wine and cheese, that turns them into swine.
Luckily one man is able to warn Odysseus and he sets off, looking
for the sailors. On the path to Circe, Odysseus meets Hermes the
herald of the gods. Warned by the messenger and given an
antidote, Odysseus is able to face Circe.
Her bewitched wine has no effect on him, surprised by this the
witch asks Odysseus to make love to her. He agrees, if his men will
be freed.
Once they are freed the crew spend a whole year with Circe and
her Nymphs before asking for help to get home, to Ithaca. Circe
agrees to help, telling them to go into the underworld and find the
blind prophet Tiresias.

AEOLIA
The Island of Aeolus
After the fiasco at the Island of the Cyclopes they stop at Aeolia,
the island of Aeolus, master of the winds.
He gives Odysseus a leather bag containing the winds of the world,
a gift that should have ensured a safe return home.
Greed and curiosity take over the sailors and they open the bag,
while Odysseus is sleeping. Instead of finding the gold they were
hoping for, they let the winds escape and set free a big storm.
The winds the ship and drive it back whence it came, just as the
shores of Ithaca come into view.
