About

In his lavishly scored oratorio The Liturgy of Orpheus, Yannis Markopoulos combines fragments of Orphic poems with a narrative text by Panos Theodoridis to create a work brimming with melodies, rhythms and instrumental tone colours.

The work is scored for a wide range of timbrally interesting instruments, including guitar, lute, kanonaki (a Greek harp used in folk music), lyre, harp and piano, beside full symphony orchestra, chorus, soloists and narrator.

Inspired by “the eloquent silence of ancient texts”, it is a remarkable song of the earth that revitalises the myth of the prophet-musician for those who seek the restoration of the natural environment.
