Work Type: Fairy Tale
Description:
“Little Red Riding Hood” is a European fairy tale about a young girl who encounters a Big Bad Wolf while visiting her grandmother. Variations of the story involve the wolf deceiving Little Red Riding Hood and sometimes her grandmother. The tale explores themes of innocence, danger, and morality. It has been adapted into numerous cultural works and remains a popular story in children’s literature.
Relationship to Sicilianos's Work:
One might recognise in “Little song out of tune” a parody of the well-known four-part “canon” based on the children’s melody “Frère Jacques,” or in “The Wolf and Little Red Riding Hood,” the feeling evoked by the pursuit of the little heroine by the wolf from the fairy tale.
Sicilianos, programme note in the concert programme of 26 January 1970. See: Christopoulou, Valia. Κατάλογος Έργων Γιώργου Σισιλιάνου [Yorgos Sicilianos Catalogue of Works] (Athens: Panas Music Papagrigoriou – Nakas, 2011) 71
