"Perils of the Great Ulysses," for string quartet and electronic orchestra by Glenn Meade, is a musical retelling of the ancient Homeric poem "The Odyssey." Twelve movements take the listener along as the hero Ulysses struggles to reach home after the Trojan War. From the depths of Hades to the peaceful bliss of Calypso's island; from the magical songs of the Sirens to the treacherous path between Scylla and Charybdis, the music follows Ulysses on his desparate voyage. With extraordinary lyricism, power and precision, the Revolution Ensemble String Quartet and an electronic orchestra bring the epic tale to life.
