Bacchai "Parodos" for 4-part mixed choir op.98 by Panagiotis Theodossiou is a setting on Euripides Bacchai v. 64 - 72 in which the Bachai chorus is descending from the mountains in the city of Thebe, Greece, performing a choral ode with pipes and timpani in praise of god Dionysus.
The rhythmic elaboration follows the ancient metric prosody of the verses in a modal scale environment.
The work is dedicated to Evangelia Thalassini (Director of the stage - Actress - Researcher of Ancient Greek Music, email: kenosxoros77@gmail.com) who provided the idea and the appropriate information (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3onZPLXt_kw&list=PL9dv-8qOvs--Hv3b7zzbdPvz-VU2ZNU8y&index=2) for the metric prosody of the ancient text. |
