Hydra

Hydra is a wild and aggressive piece meant to represent the serpentine beast of the same name. The mythology surrounding the monster tells that when one of its heads was cut off, another two heads would regenerate. Thus, rhythmic references are made to the number 2 throughout the work. Also, the horrifying hiss of the creature can be heard through the use of trashy metallic instruments as well as the hissing vocal instructions used throughout the piece. 

 

This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
