Helios Rising 總譜

在希臘神話中，赫利俄斯是一位泰坦，他每天忠實地駕駛著太陽戰車在天空中穿行，從西方消失在海洋（希臘人認為海洋環繞著地球）中，第二天清晨又從東方升起。日出時太陽神的旅程在音樂上通過主旋律中的上升跳躍以及低音管和打擊樂的強勁節奏得以體現。慢板部分的明暗對比描繪了黃昏不可避免地要讓位於夜晚的黑暗。(2:45)

原文簡介:
In Greek mythology, Helios is a Titan who faithfully drove the Sun's chariot across the sky each day, disappearing in the west into Oceanus (the ocean, which the Greeks believed encircled the Earth), and rising out of it again in the east the next morning. Helios' journey at sunrise is referenced musically by the ascending leap in the main theme and the strong driving rhythms of the low winds and percussion. The contrasting light and dark textures in the slow section depict twilight inevitably giving way to the darkness of night. (2:45)
