"Oh Raven, If You Only Had Brains..." Songs for Aesop's Fables
Original music by Lefteris Kordis based on selected fables by Aesop (c. 620-564 BC) set in the original, ancient Greek language with narration in English.
This project is an instinctual amalgamation of Eastern Mediterranean traditional and Western Classical musical textures combined with free improvisation and elements from the Jazz language. "The Fox and the Grapes" is part of a set of nine compositions, which are the realization of germinal assignments given to me by Charlie Banacos.
This project is dedicated to his loving memory.
