Arachne

A String Quartet inspired by a Greek mythology. This piece follows the story of Arachne, a weaver turned into a spider after challenging a goddess, Athena. This piece begins peacefully representing the ordinary days of Arachne until visited by a provoked goddess, Athena. The following sections (C to D) are written in 2 modes that either perform against each other or alternating between, representing the weaving competition between Arachne and Athena. The piece then enters a section (E) where Arachne wins the competition before facing the wrath of Athena (F) and ultimately transforming into a spider to weave eternally (G).
