: : : : : Sorry to intrude on this intimate gathering, but when the subject of music is broached, I see no alternative! If you are interested in additional Orphic potrayals, try the following: : : : Claudio Monteverdi: "Orfeo" (earliest opera which remains in the repertoire). : : : Christoph Willibald von Gluck: "Orfeo ed Euridice" (opera; "Dance of the Blessed Spirits," with lovely flute solo, most often heard excerpt.) : : : Franz Liszt: "Orpheus" (symphonic poem) : : : Jacques Offenbach: "Orpheus in the Underworld" (opretta, featuring the famous "Can-Can" melody). : : : Igor Stravinsky: "Orpheus" (ballet). : : : William Schuman: "Song of Orpheus" (cello and orchestra), and "Orpheus and his Lute" (song). : : : Alan Hovhaness: "Meditation on Orpheus" : : : Lukas Foss: "Orpheus and Euridice" (violin and orchestra). : : : I'm sure there are many others, but these are the pieces that readily spring to mind. (Some of them are actually quite obscure.) Let me know if you need record information. : : : Sorry -- you can go back to your chat now! : : Dear Amindib, : : What a marvelous list! I have had the pleasure of hearing the strains of the Montiverdi and Gluck, in fact I play the flute solo. I shall certainly try to get hold of some of the others. : : Emily : : : : I feel sickly deficient; I am familiar with Lizt and Stravinsky, but I have a rather exiguous musical education. Please, Aminidab, any listening suggestions are welcome. I am your studet. : I will certainly
