Teseo - Guillermo Ruano

The Myth of Theseus
It is a symphonic poem based on four mythical scenes from the famous Greek hero Theseus. This work begins in Athens, where Theseus is invited to a feast at which it was officially acknowledged that he is the son and successor of King Aegean. In Trip to Crete the composer describes the ship expedition made by our hero. Next in Theseus and the Minotaur the music chronicles the struggle between them. Finally in the last movement Back to Athens a beautiful melody of strong emotional content recounts the victory of our Greek hero.

Impresionante y precioso. Majestuoso y épico. Me entusiasma.

I tried to freeze the moments of the myth, the 7 young men and women of Athens on their way to Crete, (bars 7/8, 7/4) Ariadne's thread that unwinds to help Theseus, the fight against the Minotaur, the triumphant return to Athens. I think it stops there. It doesn't end when the father, Ageus, throws himself into the sea because he can't see the white flags, the sign of victory... better!
