Description

Drawn from Greek mythology, the narrative of the warrior Perseus is told with high energy, exciting rhythms, and interesting harmonic colors. Various vocal effects include glissandi, chanted ostinatos, and well-placed yells, while dramatic harmonic shifts slide and play with the tonality - all to glorious effect! An extraordinary and challenging selection for festival and honor choirs!
