Product details
Acragas is the ancient name for the city of Agrigentum
in Sicily, and was the birthplace of Empedocles in 492 BCE.
However, the title is only made in honour of the real person and
there is no attempt to link the music with anything Greek or
Sicilian. Acragas is suite of material that was
originally conceived as a part of 'The Wife of Empedocles'
project.
The first part is a very slow lamentation and sprang out of
reflections on the life of Empedocles preceding his time in
Athens.
The second part was designated the Air Fugue in consideration of
Empedocles empirical experiments with which it is said that he
was able to theorise on the existence and nature of 'air'.
