Description
SKU: A0.837492
Composed by Brett L. Wery. Contemporary. Score and parts. 261 pages. Sonata Grendel Publishing #5722157. Published by Sonata Grendel Publishing (A0.837492).Mortals, Gods, and Heroes was commissioned by Andrew Janack for the Maple Avenue Middles School Select Band in Saratoga Springs, NY. The school was doing a curriculum-wide reading project on Greek mythology. It seemed natural to create a wind ensemble suite based on three stories from Greek mythology. Each movement creates a miniature tone poem with clear motifs for each character in the myths. The characters include Athena (who makes a return in the final movement), Arachne, Orpheus, Charon the ferryman, Cerberus the three-headed dog, Sisyphus, Persephone, Eurydice, Perseus, and Medusa.
The eleven-minute piece is colorful and inventive with plenty of special techniques in the percussion especially designed for middle school students.
Mortals, Gods, and Heroes is in three movements:
I. Arachne’s Web
II. The Passage of Orpheus
III. Perseus and the Gorgon
The score is formatted for 8.5 X 14 (legal) size paper and is 57 pages. The parts are formatted for 8.5 X 11 (letter) size paper.
