About
‘In the period spanning between the 10th and the 13th century, a new musical-theatrical form appeared in Europe, which has gone down in the history of music under the name “liturgical drama”. Combining theatre and music, the liturgical dramas derived from the Bible, initially revolved around the Passion of Jesus, but expanding gradually to include stories from the Old Testament as well (e.g. Noah’s Ark, Samson and Delilah, etc.). Originally, the liturgical drama performances were given in the church, but from 14th to the 16th century, the performances took place outside the church. Such performances were called “mysteries” or “miracles” in the Renaissance. The monophonic chants of the medieval liturgical dramas had Latin lyrics and derived from both secular and church melodies.
‘The work Daniel in the Lions’ Den was composed in 2017 for the 16th Patmos Sacred Music Festival in Patmos, Greece. It is a modern, free adaptation of the homonymous liturgical drama, based on the monophonic melodies that were sung in the Middle Ages, when the drama Daniel in the Lions’ Den was performed.
‘The harmonic elaboration, the accompaniment of the orchestra and the orchestral interludes, with the exception of the choir, are my own free composing choices.
‘The narrator recites texts in Greek and English, taken from the Old Testament.
‘The work was recorded live at the premiere on 30 August 2017 at the 16th Patmos Sacred Music Festival - “The Divine Revelation of Music”, at the open-air theatre of the Holy Cave of the Apocalypse.’
