Note by Ted Hughes on 'ORPHEUS' ------------------------------ The more stylised the movement and mode of speech, the better. The characters are not people but gods and puppets, they move at all only with difficulty. The music is Pop up to the death of Eurydice. From there, to the penetration of Hell, it is electronic and futuristic, with a main core of something like a drum note or a Jew's harp, very monotonous and somewhat insane but hypnotic and with as much momentum as possible. In Hell and thereafter, the music is something early classical as indicated.
