“I am Odysseus son of Laertes, known before all men
for the study of crafty designs, and my fame goes up to the heavens.”
(The Odyssey of Homer, Book IX, lines 19-20)
“You will come first of all to the Sirens, who are enchanters
of all mankind and whoever comes their way; and that man
who unsuspecting approaches them, and listens to the Sirens
singing, has no prospect of coming home”
(The Odyssey of Homer, Book XII, lines 39-42)
I composed a theme for Odysseus, the protagonist of Homer’s 8th Century epic poem The Odyssey. On his 10-year journey home from Troy to Ithaca, Odysseus endures the whims of the gods, the unpredictability of the seas, the magic of sorcerers, and the snares of cyclopes, sea monsters, and other mythical creatures.
Among the most iconic of these creatures are the Sirens, who charm passing seafarers with enchanting songs, luring them to their island and their deaths. Odysseus has his crew block their ears and tie him to the mast, so that he may safely hear the wisdom and beauty in the sirens’ song.
The first half of this composition is my theme for Odysseus, which then transitions into an imagining of the song of the Sirens.
This piece was recorded and mixed by me using virtual orchestral samples from @spitfireaudiollp and @NativeInstruments
Who should I write for next? Let me know in the comments!
