Program Notes
A Story of Greek Mythology for Brass Band
Scylla and Charybdis are sea monsters from Greek mythology that lived in the Strait of Messina, each occupying one side of the strait. Scylla had six heads with a triple row of teeth in each mouth and ate anyone who came near her. Charybdis sucked in the sea water three times a day, then expelled it again with a roar. Ships caught in the maelstrom were doomed. In the Odyssey by the Greek poet Homer, Odysseus lost 6 companions while passing through the strait. This part of the adventure was translated into music.
