| Description |
"Hymn" for string orchestra op.37c is an orchestration by Alexandros Halapsis from an original by the composer (“Aeschylus Hymn to One God” op.37), a 4-part vocal setting of a fragment from “Agamemnon”(“Oresteia”) by Aeschylus (V,160-166). Characterized by a chromatic melody and of remote progress harmony, the work attempts a tribute to the style of Gesualdo da Venosa. It was a commission by the Thomas Tamvakos Greek Composers Archive and it has been performed at the “Hellenic American Union” Theatre by the vocal ensemble “Philodos”, in 2007. Transcribed for flute, violin, and cello in 2021 as “Three for a Hymn” op. 37b. |
