Silence - Chorus V Greek composer Eleni Karaindrou's collaborations with stage director Antonis Antypas have generated some of her most powerful music. Medea, like the earlier Trojan Women, comes out of this association. Created to accompany performances at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, the music vibrates with emotional intensity. Karaindrou gives her themes to a small ensemble, its sound-colours creating an ambience both archaic and contemporary, as textures of santouri, ney, lyra and clarinets are combined and contrasted. Even with reduced instrumental forces the composer seems to imply an orchestral scope. Giorgos Cheimonas' Modern Greek adaptation of Euripides provides the lyrics, movingly sung by a fifteen-piece chorus under the direction of Antonis Kontogeorgiou and, on two pieces, by the composer. Euripides' play, first staged in 431 BC, counts amongst the darkest of the dramas of antiquity, a harrowing tale of betrayal, rage, retribution, madness, and infanticide. When Jason abandons Medea to marry Glauce, daughter of King Creon, and thereby strengthen his political influence, Medea responds with a fury that knows no bounds. Karaindrou counterpoints the plot with music that builds tension also through restraint and silences. Already the pulsing of the bendir on "Ceremonial Procession" and the baleful melodies for ney and clarinet seem to anticipate the misfortunes ahead. The themes passed from clarinet to cello in "On The Way To Exile" are laden with melancholy. In her liner note Eleni praises the commitment of the players, "travelling with me through Euripdes' bleak world of poetry, unfolding their song, compassionate toward the play's characters." They convey "sounds of the Orient, Greek but also global" to underline the drama of the barbarian Medea, "whose love for the Greek Jason made her renounce her homeland, father and mother."
