duration ca. 12 minutes

Transposed Score Grace notes come before the beat, rolled chords start on the beat. All tremolos should always be faster than the sixteenth notes. Piano/Celesta should be located at the back of the orchestra with the percussion. As this work is quite loud and brassy, it is advised that the maximum number of string players be used. Two extra percussion players may be used as assistants as needed. Unless otherwise specified, percussionists should use the most common beater or mallet.

Program Note “Helios,” in Greek Mythology, is the sun god, son of Hyperion, depicted as driving his chariot across the sky from east to west daily. “Choros” in ancient Greek drama means a band of dancers whose singing, dancing, and narration provide explanation and elaboration of the main action. Helios Choros I could be described loosely as an 12-minute crescendo. The first 4-minutes present delicate, sparkling and glistening sounds, introduced by 2 harps, celesta, piano, a variety of bells, string harmonics and string pizzicatti. The music evokes a subtle, playful and ethereal reflection of the vast, subtle array of twinkling, shimmering points, and a gradual rise in rhythmic, dancing energy. The remainder of the work is high-energy passion, in which blocks of sound-worlds are juxtaposed in an earlyStravinsky-like manner. For instance you will hear a block of chord progressions, and then a block of low register jig-like gambols, and then a block of tunes intertwined. These, and various other sections, crosscut quickly and very gradually coalesce. Music's eternal quality is its capacity for change, transformation and renewal. It was my aim in this work to write continuous fast, animated music. (Lots of notes!) Like all of my music, this work is based on a very integrated set of musical materials. This work celebrates the virtuosity of the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Helios Choros I is part of a 40- minute triptych. The works can be played all together or separately, or any two can be played together. Helios Choros I was composed in 2006 and is dedicated with admiration and gratitude to Sir Andrew Davis, Victor Marshall, and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. – Augusta Read Thomas
