Description:

Parnassius apollo is the scientific name of the Apollo butterfly (also known as the Alpine or Red Apollo). The large, white butterfly with the striking red and black eyespots is found in the Alps up to an altitude of around 2200m. Like many other arthropods, the Apollo butterfly is endangered. Human activity and habitat loss are the main threats. This problem, but also the majestic beauty of the butterfly, is addressed in this piece.

The piece PARNASSIUS APOLLO is divided into 5 larger parts:

Allegro maestoso - The majestic Alps show themselves in the rising sun. On a mountain pasture, an Apollo butterfly basks in all its splendor.

Alla Marcia - The Apollo butterfly flies around and encounters hikers who admire the landscape but at the same time suffer under the burning sun. Nature is also groaning: the stream is almost dried up, the grasses are dry and arid.

Allegro assai con fuoco - The crackling announces it: It's burning! The Apollo butterfly must fly away so that it is not caught by the flames. The dry grass burns like tinder and the Swiss stone pine forest also begins to burn.

Senza misura/Marcia funebre (larghetto) - Fortunately, the thunderstorm finally arrives with the long-awaited rain! It puts out the fire that has destroyed the entire mountain pasture and the Swiss stone pine forest. The picture that now emerges is devastating, hardly anything is left standing. But the Apollo butterfly has survived (Maestoso).

Allegro maestoso (come prima) - Nature recovers, new life rises from the ashes.

The piece is dedicated to Marlies and Bruno Bart. Marlies Bart celebrates her 80th birthday in 2019 (the year the work was published). I wish you continued enjoyment of nature and especially, of course, of the Apollo butterfly.

Exact tempo indications have been deliberately omitted. The mallet part is optional and can be omitted.
