Description:
The Minotaur is the legendary creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, or the body of a bull and the head of a man. In Greek mythology The Minotaur was evil, preying on youths and young maidens from Athens. The musical depiction in this composition begins with the legendary half-man/half-animal guarding the gates to the famous Labyrinth, its home. The Greek hero, Theseus enters the Labyrinth, locates the evil Minotaur, and after a dramatic battle to the death, succeeds in killing him with a sword. This is a bold, programmatic work for young band.
