Take an
imaginary flight on the
ever-graceful
winged-horse Pegasus!
Using just six notes,
this work manages to
capture the grandeur of
this mythical creature
through the triumphant
melodies that are passed
around the ensemble.
Harmonies are
surprisingly rich for a
work at this level and
make the piece sound much
harder than it really is.
Fabulous!
In
Greek mythology, Pegasus
was the winged horse-god
son of Poseidon and the
Gorgon Medusa. During his
life, he carried
thunderbolts for the god
Zeus and was ridden by
Eos, the goddess of dawn.
Today, the word pegasus
has come to refer to any
winged horse, and the
symbol endures as one of
endless fascination. The
music is quite lively in
nature, and portrays an
imaginary flight of the
ever-graceful equine of
myth. The introduction
takes us up-up-and-away
in the form of a bright
trumpet fanfare. The
melody is then played by
lower instruments,
depicting peril during
flight. The full ensemble
then comes together,
giving a picture of the
winged wonder in all his
glory leading to a
thrilling
finish.
Score only.
