This is a 33 1/3 record to ORPHEUS IN THE UNDERWORLD 33 LP IMPROVISATION BASED ON THE STORY by DON SHIRLEY
BAND 5
The strains of the golden lyre filled the Underworld and from every side the shadows, as under a spell, gathered around Orpheus.
Then Orpheus, standing before them, sang a song of sorrow.
"O sovereigns of the Underworld, hear the words of my breaking heart.
Love has brought me here. I have not come to seek out the secrets of your dark abode.
I have come only to find Eurydice, my beloved, she who died before her youth was spent."
Then Orpheus sang on telling of his love and his loneliness.
In the end he pleaded: "And so I sing, imploring you, tie once more the thread of her mortal life.
Then when she has filled her time on earth she will return to you but until then give her back to me, this I beseech
BAND 9
At last after many hours Orpheus saw the first faint light of day.
In joy, he hurried on ahead but forgetting the warning of the Gods, he turned around.
He smiled happily and held out his arms to receive her but suddenly she began to vanish like a vision fading.
He had looked around too soon. Slowly she slipped back into the darkness.
BANDS 10 and 11
After many long days of wandering Orpheus died.
At last his spirit was free from mortal ties and he descended to the Land of the Dead.
He found his beloved Eurydice and together they roamed the fields and hills of the land of the shadows in everlasting happiness.
