Sheet Music: ScoreAttic tragedy : for orchestra / Melody Eötvös.by Melody Eötvös (2008)
|
Product details
This work is based on the ancient Greek drama called "Attic
Tragedy" (Attica was a state in ancient Greece of which Athens
was the capital).
It was while reading Nietzsche, in particular The Birth of
Tragedy that I discovered this form of ancient theatre
existed, and thereafter became intrigued by the dichotomy between
Dionysus (nature) and Apollo (rationality) as revealed throughout
the dramatic masterpieces of this era.
There are said to be anywhere from four to six 'sections'
belonging to the Attic Tragedy form, four of which are
illustrated here.
