The central project of MasterVoices 2020-2021 season is a virtual rollout of award-winning composerAdam Guettelstheatrical song cycle,Myths and Hymns, in an online staging conceived by Ted Sperling. Inspired by Greek myths and a 19th-Century Presbyterian hymnal, the 1998 cycle is a kaleidoscopic collection of musical genres as it explores the nature of faith and longing in a secular world. New short musical films illustrate the protagonists attempt to seek answers in four ways through Flight, Work, Love, and Faith. The four chapters of this personal voyage will be released infree digital installmentsthroughout the winter and spring Flight (January 13), Work (February 24), Love (April 14), and Faith (May 26). All installments will remain available after their premieres for on-demand streaming onMasterVoices YouTube channeluntil June 30, 2021.

After a jaunty prologue (Prometheus), Guettel frames the myth ofIcarusas the story of a young man striving to get out from under his famous fathers shadow and shine like the sun. After his crash, the solace and hope ofMigratory Vexpresses the human aspiration to fly together and soar above the troubles below. The retelling ofPegasusexplores the fall of the hero Bellerophon when he angers Zeus. The chapter ends with the cycles first hymn text,Jesus the Mighty Conqueror, with its refrain consisting of the single word, rise, repeated over and over.
