Taken from the four track album "Eurydice" available to download visit - https://markdkberry.com "In Part I, Orpheus meets the young Eurydice and falls in love. This part describes their youthfulness, as well as their journey towards maturity and the growing intensity of love." For the artwork I went with the spring theme rather than two young lovers. It was interesting to discover just how often "nymphs & satyrs" featured in 19th Century art. I am now inspired to do a more thorough set just on that theme. I was also fascinated to find some of the artwork to be more inspiring than modern day glamour photography that tries to capture the same mood but misses the mark.

Taken from the album "Eurydice" available from - https://markdkberry.com "In Part II Eurydice is wandering in the forest with nymphs. You can hear warnings in the distant weather. Aristaeus sees her, is captivated by her beauty and so begins a chase. I felt it would be quite flirtatious too, not wholly unwanted, and that mood is echoed in the arrangement. The bass drop heralds the arrival of trouble, and sure enough at the very end you hear the snake bite her and she dies immediately, falling towards the Underworld."

Taken from the album "Eurydice" available via - https://markdkberry.com "In Part III - Eurydice has now died from a snake bite and fallen into the Underworld. She swirls without form, maybe death takes its time and our memories slowly come undone, as every individual part of us returns to the source. You may hear the call of Orpheus looking for her."

Taken from the album "Eurydice" available from - https://markdkberry.com "In Part IV, the vocal gave it a feel that merged the story of Charon the Ferryman, whom one paid to cross the river Styx in and out of Hades, with the idea of Eurydice's eventual return to life in a new form. This strays from the original story of Orpheus in which she disappears forever into the Underworld."
