Myths & Hymns
by Adam Guettel
Synopsis
In this lush song cycle, Guettel paints an emotional landscape of faith and yearning that embraces a boundless spectrum of ideology and spirituality.
The lyrics were inspired by Greek mythology and a 19th-century Presbyterian hymnal; the musical vocabulary sweeps from romantic art song and rock to Latin, gospel and R&B.
Myths & Hymns elucidates our fantastic desire to transcend earthly bounds, our intrinsic need to connect with something or someone greater in our restless search for enlightenment.
