The Trickster by Stephen Guerra
The Trickster by Stephen Guerra
2024 Slippery Rock University Honors Flute Ensemble (World Premiere)
Dr. Cassandra Eisenreich, Director
Program Notes:
"The trickster's function is to break taboos, create mischief, stir things up. In the end, the trickster gives people what they really want, some sort of freedom.” - Author Tom Robbins
The Trickster, a captivating archetype found in mythologies and tales spanning diverse cultures and epochs, embodies qualities of inquisitiveness, cunning, and mischief. This enigmatic figure selectively engages individuals demonstrating promise but perhaps lacking the foresight and knowledge to fully actualize their potential. Noteworthy examples include Kokopelli from Native American lore, Loki from Norse mythology and Marvel, Brer Rabbit and Anansi from African traditions, Kitsune in Japanese folklore, Satyr in Greek mythology, and even the Iconic Bugs Bunny in the United States.
Despite their inclination toward chaos and non-conformity, Tricksters are not
easily confined to simplistic notions of good or evil. Rather, their motivations
often transcend such dichotomies. Instead of promoting malevolence, their antics frequently guide their unsuspecting targets towards positivity and personal growth.
The Trickster endeavors to lead the listeners and performers on a musical whirlwind rife with chaos, unpredictability, deception, and hope.
