Additional info/contents	Tyler Arcari depicts the mythical Gryphon in this delightful piece. You will hear the contrasting lighter-than-air sounds of a soaring eagle followed by the more dark and aggressive sounds of the lion. Tyler's different approach to composition is refreshing, and his scoring, melodic vision and harmonic choices are so wonderful.

Programme notes *: The gryphon is a legendary creature that has appeared in many civilizations over thousands of years of history. The gryphon is said to have the head of an eagle and the body of a lion, making it the king of both land and sky. Throughout history, the gryphon has been a guard against evil and a symbol of strength. Adrienne Mayor, a classical folklorist and historian of science, proposed that the ancient Greek idea and image of the griffin in classical art and literature beginning in the seventh century BC was influenced in part by the fossilized remains of beaked dinosaurs such as Protoceratops observed on the way to gold deposits by nomadic prospectors of ancient Scythia (Central Asia), This hypothesis is necessarily speculative. It draws on numerous Greek and Latin literary sources and related artworks in a specific time frame, beginning with the first written descriptions of griffins as real animals of Asia in a lost work by Aristeas (a Greek who traveled to the Altai region between Mongolia and NW China in the seventh century BC) cited by Aeschylus and Herodotus (ca 450 BC) and ending with Aelian (third century AD), the last ancient author to report any "new" details about the griffin.
