In Greek mythology, Daedelus was an inventor who created wings from feathers and wax, so he and his son Icarus could escape Crete by flying away. While Daedalus flew wisely, Icarus flew too close to the sun and he fell to his death as the wax melted. Composed for flutist Julietta Curenton, Harberg's Feathers and Wax soars with a contemporary jazz-inflected flavor._______________________________________Text from the scanned back cover:Feathers and Wax for Flute and PianoFeathers and Wax was inspired by the Greek myth of young Icarus reveling in the thrill of flight, before he meets with his tragic demise.
