Myths and Hymns

Myths and Hymns (originally known as Saturn Returns) is a song cycle by composer Adam Guettel, based on Greek myth and lyrics found in an antique hymnal. Guettel's second major work, the song-cycle was originally produced by the Public Theater. The song cycle is structured as a revue, with no through plot. Performed in concert format, it concerns the relationship of humans to gods, past and present.
