Greek goddesses

Recently I have been working on a new collection of smaller pieces, each for a different solo instruments, or small group. Each piece represents the personality and/or story of a Greek goddess. I have mostly chosen lesser-known goddesses that I found particularly cool. I guess this is probably historically-inspired feminist empowerment :)


This piano piece below is about the goddess Asteria, who is the goddess of falling stars. In mythology, she was chased by an 'amorous' Zeus (king of the gods), so she transformed into a quail and fell into the sea to escape him. Then Poseidon (god of the sea) began chasing her and so she turned into an island (apparently a great way to protect yourself!)
