Marsyas ist ein Satyr aus den Metamorphosen des griechischen Dichters Ovid (43 v. Chr.-17 n. Chr.). Er findet eine von der Göttin Athene weggeworfene Flöte und spielt bald so gut, dass ihn Apollo zu einem musikalischen Wettstreit zwischen Flöte und Lyra herausfordert. Durch einen üblen Trick verliert Marsyas und erleidet eine grausame Strafe. Diese Sage bot eine ausgezeichnete Vorlage für ein spannendes Solowerk für Flöte, in welchem auch die Harfe (Lyra) erklingt.Si les récits de métamorphoses furent très populaires dans l’Antiquité gréco-romaine, le recueil du poète latin Ovide [43 av. J.-C./17 apr. J.-C.] est de loin le plus célèbre. Les quinze livres des Métamorphoses racontent la formation du monde et les transformations légendaires des dieux et des hommes en animaux, en plantes ou en objets. Parmi les nombreuses histoires de métamorphoses relatées par Ovide, on trouve celle de Marsyas, un satyre originaire de Célènes en Phrygie. Fils d’Hyagnis, considéré comme l’inventeur de l’harmonie phrygienne, Marsyas excellait dans la musique. Un jour, Athéna fit une fl te double et en joua un banquet des dieux. Tournée en dérisionpar Héra et Aphrodite, et ayant constaté elle-même, en voyant le reflet de son visage dans l’eau, que l’instrument, quand elle en jouait, lui déformait les traits, elle jeta la fl te en maudissant quiconque la ramasserait. Cette malédiction frappa le satyre Marsyas qui la trouva et en joua magnifiquement, au grand plaisir des paysans des contrées phrygiennes qui l’écoutaient et qui prétendirent que le dieu Apollon en personne n’aurait pu mieux faire avec sa lyre. Apollon entra dans une colère formidable et proposa l’insolent satyre un concours musical dont le vainqueur pourrait faire subir au vaincu le ch timent de son choix. Les Muses et le roi Midas, choisis comme juges, ne réussirent pas départager les concurrents. Alors, Apollon joua de la lyre l’envers et demanda Marsyas d’en faire autant avec son instrument. Cela était impossible. Marsyas n’y parvint pas, et Apollon fut déclaré vainqueur. Il se vengea du satyre de la plus cruelle façon : il l’attacha un pin et l’écorcha vif.Certains racontent qu’Apollon, se repentant de sa vengeance, métamorphosa en fleuve le corps de Marsyas. D’autres prétendent que le sang de Marsyas ou les larmes versées par les nymphes et les satyres, privés des enchantements de sa fl te, formèrent le fleuve de Phrygie qui porte son nom. / Marsyas fut créé le 22 juillet 2005 Bordes sur Arize en Ariège par le.

Journey back to ancient Greece and view a place of long-gone legend. Follow the trail to the Kingdom of Ithaca, from the heroic palace, to a place of tranquility, to a reckless dance of abandon, to the return of Odysseus. The melodic material used in 200 B.C. is from a two thousand year old Greek hymn to Apollo. The legendary adventures of Odysseus as described by Homer in the Odyssey (ca. 700 B.C.) provide the programmatic material. The music is freely based upon the First Delphic Hymn (or Paen to Apollo), composed ca. 200 B.C. The source is a transcription appearing on pages 363 - 367 of Ancient and Oriental Music, Edited by Egon Wellesz (Oxford University Press: London, 1957). Each movement of the work depicts a key event in the epic Homeric poem, as described below. Movement I: Intrada - The first four notes of this movement, C - Bb - G - Bb, are the melodic and harmonic foundation for the entire work. These pitches, introduced in a simple and direct manner, are subsequently developed in more complex fashions throughout the suite. Following this stately introduction is a militaristic fanfare that introduces the dotted-eighth and sixteenth-note figure later reprised in the second and fourth movements. Indeed, all the musical ideas which will be central to the remaining movements first appear in the Intrada. This movement depicts the grandeur of Odysseus and his kingdom in Ithaca, and establishes the heroic mood of the entire work. Movement II: Ballad - After a brief restatement of the opening dotted-eighth-and-sixteenth fanfare, the second movement extracts the falling third (Bb to G) from the C - Bb - G - Bb motif and extends it and expands it into a haunting solo for alto saxophone. The C - Bb - G - Bb motif appears again (see measures 23 - 33 in trumpets) as counterpoint to this melody, now pulsing through the thick texture of the band. Many performers have come to view the Ballad as the emotional epicenter of the entire suite; my conception of the Ballad is to achieve a union of pathos and strength. Programmatically, this movement depicts Odysseus's son, Telemachos, as he both longs for Odysseus's return and stoically defends his father's kingdom. Movement III: Dance - It will take Odysseus twenty years to return to Ithaca. During his absence, noblemen besiege his palace, violating the sanctity of the household and seeking the hand of his wife, Penelope. This movement depicts the wanton revelries that result. The original four-note motif is chromatically altered and the meter is made irregular. The rapid tempo, driving percussion, and angular meter and melodies combine in an explosion of reckless abandon. Movement IV: March Building from a delicate woodwind ensemble accompanied by finger cymbals to a fully orchestrated statement replete with thundering percussion, this is a resounding march of victory. Odysseus has returned in triumph to restore dignity to his household and to reclaim the throne of the Kingdom of Ithaca. Ensemble instrumentation: 1 Piccolo, 8 Flute 1 - 2, 2 Oboe 1 - 2, 4 Bb Clarinet 1, 4 Bb Clarinet 2, 4 Bb Clarinet 3, 1 Eb Alto Clarinet, 3 Bb Bass Clarinet, 2 Bassoon 1 - 2, 3 Eb Alto Saxophone 1, 3 Eb Alto Saxophone 2, 2 Bb Tenor Saxophone, 1 Eb Baritone Saxophone, 3 Bb Trumpet 1, 3 Bb Trumpet 2, 3 Bb Trumpet 3, 2 F Horn 1-2, 2 F Horn 3-4, 2 Trombone 1, 2 Trombone 2, 2 Trombone 3, 3 Euphonium (B.C.), 2 Euphonium T.C., 4 Tuba, 1 Timpani, 2 Mallet Percussion: Bells, Xylophone, 2 Percussion 1: Snare Drum, Tambourine, 2 Percussion 2: Crash Cymbals, Suspended Cymbal, Tom-Tom, Finger Cymbals, 1 Percussion 3: Bass Drum.

Pythikos Nomos is scored for alto saxophone (or clarinet in A) and piano. It was at the request of John- Edward Kelly that Brian Elias first decide to write a work for saxophone and piano. 'Pythikos Nomos' (Pyhton's Law) is an ancient Greek musical form, invented by Sakadas in 586 BC for the Pythian games to describe the battle between Apollo and the monster on the slopes of Parnassus. It is reputedly the first known genre of programme music. Brian Elias decided that the characteristic sounds of the saxophone would be well suited to ancient Greek rhythms, and was interested in the implications of this form as an early sonata shape. According to legend, Apollo fought and defeated the monster on the site, which came to be called Delphi. He returned to Delphi in triumph after a period of purification escorted by priests singing hymns of praise. Several versions of the instrumental form exist following the general storyline. Brian chose to base his piece around six sections: (i) Peira (introduction), (ii) Kataleusmos (Apollo incites the monster to battle), (iii) Imabikon (the battle), (iv) Spondeion (hymn of victory), (v) Katachoreusis (victory dance) (vi) Syrinxes (the last breaths of the dying monster). The central hymn of victory incorporates a quote from the first Delphic Hym, a surviving fragment of ancient Greek music. This work was written for John-Edward Kelly and Bob J.W.Versteegh, who gave the first performance on 1st July 1988 at the Wigmore Hall, London. Duration c.10 minutes. The score is in C.

Since the beginning of humanity we've been mesmerized by the moon, and what were originally thought to be “seas†appearing on the surface. The “Sea of Tranquility†is probably the best-known of these thanks to the landing of Apollo 11 in 1969. The first movement of Robert Buckley's four-movement suite captures the astronauts' sense of awe and wonder of their journey from lift-off, to weightlessness, to the triumph and jubilation of the lunar landing itself. Dur: 4:25.
