PERSÉPHONE | by Igor Stravinsky

Music: Igor Stravinsky
Poem by André Gide

Perséphone has only one singer, the priest Eumolpus, who functions largely as a narrator. The orchestral writing is melodious, with a solo woodwind or brass instrument often presenting an arresting, even jaunty theme over a simple rhythmic accompaniment.
