Prometheus: The Greek God of Fire. Unmatched in the ability to amaze
through beauty of hot gradients and unapologetic enough to enable widespread
conflagration; these are the gifts of the Greek God known for bringing fire
to the people. Allow your ensemble to explore the torrid and fiery beauty of
Prometheusi divine gift to humanity.
Prometheus is built around
vignettes of fire through its perveying role in the gifts of many. Percussive
pulses in the low strings breathe life to the flames while teaching students
the importance of rhythmic accuracy and uniform bowing. Violin parts are
harmonically invigorating, relying on the sections to paint the seductive
beauty of light through fire with precise and clear technique. Additionally,
Prometheus explores part independence through arpeggiation, percussive, and
melodic motives in each section. Program a spring concert or festival/contest
with Prometheus.
