about

Pylades could probably do a lot better than Orestes, but people just aren't ready for that conversation yet.

This piece is primarily modal, using modes of the melodic minor scale.

lyrics

From "Orestes", by Euripides, translated by Anne Carson:

PYLADES: I'll take care of you.

ORESTES: It's rotten work.

PYLADES: Not to me. Not if it's you.

ORESTES: Beware the contagion of madness.

PYLADES: Come now.

ORESTES: You won't shrink back?

PYLADES: A friend does not shrink back.
