According to Maestro, God of Music, the "chorus of ancient songs" called them by that name, which they called their "notation". (TV: The Devil's Chord [+]Loading...["The Devil's Chord (TV story)"])
Behind the scenes
- "Chorus" is a term in music, denoting a group of vocalists, but it also harkens back to the theatre concept, that is, the Greek chorus, a group of performers who spoke in one voice, narrating stories about gods and humans, both in tragedies and comedies.
- Maestro simply says, "The chorus of ancient songs call me... Maestro." There are at least three possible interpretations:
- The "chorus" in question gave them that monicker in the first place;
- The chorus of ancient songs sing about Maestro, most likely either in fear or in praise;
- The chorus knows Maestro, and simply use their name, in the same sense that Bernice Summerfield tends to say, "My friends call me Benny."
- Both iPlayer subtitles and Russell T Davies's pink revision script[1] render "chorus of ancient songs" all in lower-case.
