Muses for Pierrot Ensemble, VIII. Urania

from Contemporary Studies in Music Composition by Timothy Schmidt

/

about

The Nine Muses of Greek mythology were said to preside over and inspire the fundamental arts of the Ancient Greeks. They are: Calliope (epic poetry), Polyhymnia (sacred hymns), Terpsichore (dance), Thalia (comedy), Erato (love poetry), Melpomene (tragedy), Euterpe (lyrical poetry), Urania (astronomy), and Clio (history). Tackling the essence of each of these figures is this collection of character pieces set for Pierrot ensemble. Built upon a rotating nine-tone row and touching upon signature elements of major periods in music history, these movements are as much an experimental mixture of the modern with the traditional as they are colorful personifications of the mythological immortals for which they are named.
