Classical Pacific, May 21, 2018: Myth and Literature

  Today, music inspired by myth and literature. I'll be playing music by Debussy, Berlioz Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Hovhannes, Gluck, Bonfa, Offenbach, Rameau, Mouquet, Barber, Respighi, and Britten. Some wrote work related to Shakespeare's The Tempest, King Lear, and Romeo and Juliet. The rest of the work I'm sharing is based on Greek mythology - tales of Pan, Castor and Pollux, Aphrodite (Venus), Apollo, Oedipus, Medea and Orpheus. Join me for an inspired music telling of myths and Sheakespearean literature.
