Wingert-Jones Publications #3013941. Published by Wingert-Jones Publications (WJ.3013941). UPC: 822424002206. 9 x 12 inches.The Minotaur is the legendary creature with the body of a man and the head of a bull, or the body of a bull and the head of a man. In Greek mythology The Minotaur was evil, preying on youths and young maidens from Athens. The musical depiction in this composition begins with the legendary half-man/half-animal guarding the gates to the famous Labyrinth, its home.
