It's quite interesting - and I'm really glad you liked finding out about it. When I was looking into resources to teach the mystery religion a few years ago, I also discovered Orphism was an (albeit short-lived) art movement begun around 1912.

Really glad you like it - the playlist is one of my favourites. I especially like the Orpheus version of Walk Away Renee ... which I'd not really heard of until recently! Let me know what other tracks you add to your playlist.

Have you seen HADESTOWN or heard the music? "Why We Build the Wall" is a stunner.
I CANNOT believe I've been unaware of this - just listened to this track. 'Stunner' is an understatement.
Here's my review from when the show stopped at Peace Center last year: https://ashevillestages.com/theater/hadestown
Hi, Edwin - I haven't seen or heard of it, but will check it out as a matter of urgency. Thanks for the recommendation!
Good stuff today--I’ll use this playlist to start a little road trip I’m taking off on.

I had never heard of Orphism before. Very interesting stuff, Bryan.
