From the Publisher
I was inspired to create this work after attending a Greek mythology seminar at the University of Geneva: a collection of solo oboe or English horn pieces, allowing a certain freedom of improvisation to the performer. The muses are often shown in Ancient Greek art, holding musical instruments or other associated objects. The Nine Muses came to life initially in 2006, thanks to Phylloscopus Publications and K. R. Malloch.
