Programme notes *: The fascinating world of mythology has always inspired artists and composers to create their creative works. Among the many mythological figures, Pegasus, the winged horse of Greek mythology, occupies a special place. This majestic creature has influenced not only the visual arts, but also music in its diversity. In Greek mythology, Pegasus is considered the son of the sea god Poseidon and the Gorgon Medusa. His birth from the blood of the slain Medusa and his ability to hit the Hippocrene spring, the source of the muses, with his hooves make him a symbol of creativity and inspiration. Numerous composers have used this symbolic meaning to create musical works that address the creative process and the search for inspiration. In classical music, composers have often used Pegasus as a metaphor for the search for artistic escape and inspiration. Beethoven, in his "Pastoral Symphony", could serve as an example, where the music seemingly flies over the landscape and conveys a powerful, inspiring energy. The use of flute and horn melodies, which could be reminiscent of the neighing of a Pegasus, reinforces this artistic connection. The mythological Pegasus has also found its way into the realm of ballet and film music. Composers such as Igor Stravinsky incorporated mythological themes into ballet compositions. In "Apollo," for example, Pegasus is depicted as a symbol of the artist's rise. In film music, John Williams' "Pegasus' Flight" from the film "Hercules" could serve as a modern example in which the majestic atmosphere of Pegasus is musically captured. Pegasus has also left his mark on rock and pop music. Bands like Yes have incorporated mythological elements into their music, and Pegasus appears as a symbol of escaping reality into dreamy, musical worlds. The use of psychedelic sounds and poetic lyrics creates a connection to the mythical world that Pegasus represents. The presence of Pegasus in music shows how mythological figures can serve as a timeless and cross-border source of inspiration. From classical to ballet to modern genres like rock and pop, Pegasus has found a permanent place in the musical landscape. The artistic interpretation of this mythological figure reflects not only the search for inspiration, but also the ability of music to bring timeless stories and symbols to life in different contexts.
