Description:
This overture was originally conceived as an opening piece for the Wind Symphony, which consists of four parts and represents the four ancient deities of the cardinal points. In Greek mythology, Aiolos was the guardian of the winds and the king of the mythical island of Aiolia. He controlled the north wind (Boreas), the west wind (Zephyros), the east wind (Euros) and the south wind (Notos). Aiolos, the son of the sea god Poseidon, was known for his power over the winds and his ability to create storms. This composition is perfect as an opening for any concert.
