The story is presented by nine choric dancers who, in their dark glasses and black skullcaps, resemble a sinister Gallic mime troupe. |
Dancing is accompanied by choric songs, often topically composed for the occasion. |
This song is sung by Pete Townshend, whose voice in the film is a kind of choric narrator, directly addressing the audience as in Greek tragedy. |
The book became the record of this great tragedy, in which these prophecies take the place of the choric odes in a Greek drama. |
Harris has written some choric works for men and women also. |
The Exode is that entire part of a tragedy which has no choric song after it. |
