Rondo
skolion is the 5th movement of Hardy Mertens' 1st symphony "Voice of Mind" and was written in 1985. The word rondo refers to a music form in which
a main theme is repeated several times with contrasting passages between
each repetition. A skolion is a Greek drinking song that is often heard
in the Kafenions where men drink their Ouzo and try to forget the problems
of everyday life. The atmosphere reflects fun and a little bit of decadence.
It refers to entertaining music. |
