Gaius Petronius

The Satyricon is a wild and witty ancient Roman novel, believed to have been written by Gaius Petronius in the late first century AD. A satirical romp through ancient Rome, the Satyricon follows the misadventures of Encolpius, a young man with questionable morals, and his attractive teenage companion Giton. The work's frank depictions of sexuality and social dynamics provide unparalleled insight into the underbelly of Roman society. The Satyricon stands out from other Roman texts in its use of a freewheeling mix of styles and tones, its high-brow and low-brow humor, and erotic and decadent scenes. With its episodic structure and roguish protagonists, the Satyricon is often considered an early forerunner of the picaresque novel. It laid the groundwork for later classics like Don Quixote and influenced countless other works of bawdy literature. This edition is based on W. C. Firebaugh's complete and unexpurgated translation, which includes supplements devised by various early scholars and forgers in an attempt to round out the fragmentary story, including the risqu supplement by Jos Marchena, which had previously been omitted or printed only in the original Latin. (Firebaugh carefully distinguishes all these supplements from the authentic, original text.) Along with Firebaugh's introduction and notes, this edition includes a brief timeline of the history of Latin literature.

Complete Ballet YouTube Presentation: https: //youtu.be/GjbTGC-m9qM FULL ORCHESTRAL SCORE (with stage directions). Piano Score, Individual Parts (Parts 1 and 2) Sold Separately. American composer, James Nathaniel Holland, brings a ballet adapted from the first century Roman novel by Gaius Petronius (cir. 50 A.D.) to the stage. An entertaining ballet for adults (not suitable for general audiences under the age of 18), celebrating the male ballet dancer's physique and a laugh at our own human sexuality. The comedy is a romp of three gay protagonists and their adventures and misadventure in ancient Rome and their characters; an ex-gladiator, Enclopius, his young lover, Giton, and an upper class snob, Ascyltos. It should also be said that this ballet is not pure gratuitous vulgarity, there is a interweaving story containing a deeper message of real human relationships, the satire of ancient Roman archetypes, and a humorous glimpse into ancient Roman life that still rings true even 2,000 plus years later. Regardless of the subject matter, Holland's original music is fantastic tapestry of counterpoint, set in a sort of atonal-ism and heavy percussion, evoking a period of history no longer available to us. Although not all cues and counterpoint is contained here, this piano score is extremely useful for either a performance with 2 pianos and percussion and a dance company, a director's/choreographer's score, or a concise conductor's score, or rehearsal score. Measure numbers line up with the full score. An orchestral, performance CD is available for those company's on a budget.
