Pandora's Bach(s)
Pandora was given a box – with instructions not to open it under any circumstance. Impelled by her curiosity Pandora opened it, and all evil contained therein escaped and spread over the earth. She hastened to close the container, but the whole of the contents had escaped, except for one thing that lay at the bottom – the Spirit of Hope. Pandora, deeply saddened by what she had done, feared she would have to face Zeus' wrath, since she had failed her duty; however, Zeus did not punish Pandora, because he knew this would happen.
Utilizing familiar Bach works we tell the story of Pandora’s Box. Movement I depicts the curiosity of Pandora that eventually leads to the opening of the box and evil spreading throughout the world. The 2nd Movement represents the last thing remaining in the box, that being Hope. The 3rd Movement depicts the battle of hope vs evil. Eventually we are able to push evil back to the box and are left with the curiosity of yet another about to open the box again.
