| Description |
Orpheus is a guiitarist whose inspiration comes from his beautiful wife, Eurydice. When she dies and is taken to the underworld, Orpheus makes the tortuous journey there to bargain with Pluto for her soul. Upon his return to earth his formerly frivolous dance music has taken on a strange spiritual quality. Music commisisoned from Andrew Hagen and Morton Wilson. |
