This paper has demonstrated numerous potential connections between Bolcom’s chamber work Lilith and the many mythological sources that have contributed to Lilith’s modern image. Comparisons can be made between the music and the literature, relating gestures, textures, and sonorities with descriptive imagery and emotive abstractions, all serving to make a more dynamic and engaging performance for the audience. Lilith belongs to a great body of programmatic works, because although it is not narrative, it is no less emotionally-charged.
