Audio Post – “Manto 1” for viola solo, G. Scelsi

Scelsi was inspired by “Manto”, a Sybil of Delphi, the oracle of the temple of Apollo, getting in trance due to the sulfury damps rising up out of the earth in the temple.

“Manto 1” is for viola solo, with scordatura-tuning ‘D (in stead of C)-  G – D – A’
