Product Description

6 pages (2 pages of music)

In Greek mythology, Lethe was one of the five rivers of the underworld. Its waters symbolized forgetfulness and oblivion. The souls of the dead drank from the river before entering Hades to erase their early memories. Lethe also refers to the goddess of the same name who is the personification of oblivion. In poetry, Lethe is a metaphor for forgetfulness or for the underworld in general.

Lethe, composed for guitar solo, evokes the mythological river's dark and pensive character. The piece uses only minor chords and employs all the minor chords in the chromatic scale. The main theme is a dirge set as a quasi-chorale in B minor. The arpeggios in the middle section suggest the rivers swirling waters. The wandering harmonies evoke a sense of dreaminess.
