Night Journey into Angels

Here is a piece by Martha Graham, a legend to say the very least! I love this piece for the group work more that the duet that actually occurs.

it is based on the story of Oedipus Rex and his Mother/Wife Jocasta

skip to minute 1.40 for the entrance of the large group of females (the chorus)

Another piece by Martha is Diversion of Angels, which again I love the group sections and less of the solos and duets. My favorite section is around minute 5.19 when the woman in red enters and especially the quartet that follows. I don't know why but it is so jovial and pretty.
