Product Description

Scorpius is a very old constellation. Over 5000 years ago the Sumerians referred to it as a scorpion. Ptolemy, in the second century recorded it, and also named the bright red supergiant star Antares, the heart of the scorpion. The Chinese knew this as the fire star, the dragons heart. In ancient Egyptian lore, it was associated with the goddess Serket, who protected people from venomous stings. In Greek myth Orion is stung to death by the scorpion, which is why his constellation sets as Scorpius rises. Driving rhythms contrasting with a calm opening and closing section feature in this Advanced Piano Solo from 88 Constellations a collection by Heather Cattanach featuring one piece of piano music for each of the 88 constellations (to match the number of keys on a standard piano). Performance Time 3 1/2 minutes. 4 pages. (General Instructional, Modern, 21st Century, Repertoire, Recital, Zodiac)
