CLASSICALMYTH IN MUSIC: A SELECTIVELIST
This survey provides a bibliographical resource for those teach-
ers who wish to add a music component to their courses in classical
mythology. Much work has been done on the classical tradition in
the visual arts, but little has been done with music, an area develop-
ing so rapidly that even such an admirable work as The Oxford Guide
to Classical Mythology in the Arts, 1300-1990s has been unable to
keep up with it.
The survey lists those musical works which revolve around some
mythical character known to the Greeks and Romans, whether the
composer is merely alluding to the character, retelling the familiar
story, or creating a new story with familiar characters, and which
are presently available in CD format. (Works named after the fact
by someone other than the composer [e.g., Mozart's Symphony No.
41 "Jupiter"]or works with seemingly mythical subjects [e.g., Nicholas
Maw's Odyssey] have been omitted.) What is truly amazing today is
the availability of older works never recorded before or long un-
available as well as of newly created musical works still using classical
mythical characters.
The format is that of The Oxford Guide to Classical Mythology
in the Arts, 1300-1990s; each mythical character or theme is listed
alphabetically followed by the musical works listed chronologically
with the addition of (when available) the playing time of a work, a
short description of it, and its date and CD reference. An asterisk
has been placed before a preferred recording (based on the judgment
of music critics) when multiple recordings are available. Recordings
of selections from a work are generally omitted when the complete
work is available. When a CD contains more than one mythical work,
reference to the additional work(s) is made in the CD listing.
No one source of information has a complete list of available
musical works. The major sources, among others, are the various
editions of The Penguin Guide to Compact Discs and Cassettes, CD
Guide to Classical Music and its periodic updates, Fanfare maga-
zine, American Record Guide magazine, Gramophonemagazine, Stevenson
Guide to Compact Discs, and the monthly catalogue of Records In-
ternational (graciously provided by Jerry Clack).
Any additions would be appreciated.
