The absence of Odysseus (Roman Ulysses) in the Trojan War was endured by Penelope, who faced palace intrigues to remarry her for over two decades. The drastic contrast between basses and trebles, in reiterated circular motion, represents the cycle of time, a day after day wait, and a reiterated discussion between the female (acute) perseverance and the intrigant male’s (bass) insistence on a new marriage. This synthetic string pizzicato composition also recognises the power of music in creating the atmosphere in film soundtracks. The key is loosely D flat major; only 12 out of the 34 notes are used.
