Ulysses’ Quest uses a bold theme to take performers and audience members alike on an exciting musical journey. After stating the theme in the opening bars, performers expand their range to explore the motive’s possibilities. A descent into the mysterious middle section stretches ears and finger patterns before control is tested in the slower section. Finally, the piece comes home as the return of the theme is presented in one final round.

Ulysses’ Quest by Mark A. Taylor captures the heroic determination of a literary character with deep roots. Ulysses (Greek: Odysseus) has been a staple in literature dating back over 2,000 years. His quests have been recorded in Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey, Dante’s Divine Comedy, Tennyson’s poem Ulysses, and Joyce’s novel Ulysses
(among others).
