about CLIMBING PARNASSUS In Aeschulus, Creon speaks of “the double peaks of snow-clad Parnassus”— the ancient site of the Oracle of Delphi, and the mountain most sacred to Apollo. As the home of The Muses., Parnassus is the spiritual source of music, poetry, and art. Centuries ago, when Greek and Latin were an integral part of a Western education, the phrase “Climbing Parnassus” meant the pursuit of a career as a poet, writer, composer, or artist. Dreamlike and spacious, Climbing Parnassus presents an imagined chorale fragment, ascending and transforming through an expanse of sound.
