Narcisse: A Mythological Poem in Music - Cover Design This cover design showcases the mystical and enchanting world of Russian composer Nikolai Nikolayevich Tcherepnin's (1873-1945) mythological poem set to music, titled "Narcisse." Tcherepnin's musical masterpiece, which may include a movement from his 1911 ballet piece "Narcisse et Echo," was brought to life through the iconic designs of Leon Bakst for a performance by the Ballets Russes at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, in July 1912. The cover image features a mesmerizing, bright green faun, who captivates with his otherworldly allure as he plays a long, ethereal flute or pipe. The mythological figure of Narcissus, known for his beauty and self-absorption, is often depicted with the assistance of fauns and nymphs in various myths. Tcherepnin's musical poem pays homage to this rich mythological tradition, transporting listeners to a realm where myth and music intertwine. The cover design, with its vibrant green hues and intricate details, perfectly encapsulates the essence of Tcherepnin's work. The image of the faun playing his flute or pipe adds a sense of whimsy and enchantment, inviting listeners to embark on a musical journey through the realms of myth and legend. This cover design is a testament to the enduring power of classical music and the captivating stories it brings to life.
