One of two named programs presented as lecture-demonstrations by Eva Palmer-Sikelianos and Ted Shawn with his all-male dance company at Shawn's Farm, Jacob's Pillow (other program titled: 'The Creative Process in Dance') in August and September 1939. Excursions into Visible Song consisted of: a passage from Isaiah 52:1-7, three pyrrhic dances (advertised at the time as 'from Aristophanes' but elsewhere described as fragments from Tyrtaeus), poems by Walt Whitman, and the first chorus of Aeschylus' Persians. Ted Shawn's 'Dance We Must' (London: Dennis Dobson Ltd, 1946) describes: "The dance movement accompanied only by the men's voices singing the words of Aeschylus in English translation, to Greek modal music" (facing p.17). For the performance from The Persians, Ted Shawn's dance company were also accompanied by 25 male student dancers. The 2 September presentation also included Ted Shaw dancing Prometheus Unbound.
