'Terpsichore' is an orchestral tone poem. It is programmatic, meaning that the music follows a story or dialogue. Terpsichore, in Greek Mythology, is the muse of Dance. She was born from a union between Zues and Mnemosyne, who is the goddess of memory and the subconscious. In these piece we are presented with that raucous dance music of Zues, followed by the cerebral and seductive music of Mnemosyne, end ending with a choral that combines the music of both, signifying the birth of Terpsichore. This piece was performed and recorded by the Juilliard Orchestra and conducted by Jeffrey Millarsky.
