In Greek mythology, Lampades were the torch-bearing nymphs of the underworld who accompanied Hecate, the goddess of sorcery, in her night-time revels and hauntings!

I attempt to evoke the sinister characteristic of the Lampades in this improvisation, by use of an unsettling chromatic genre of the ancient Greek Phyrgian Mode - the same mode can actually be found in an extant dramatic fragment of ancient Greek music, called "Tecmessa's Lament", from the 5th century BCE tragedy, "Ajax".
