Antigoni Goni, guitar
Program Notes: Delphic Hymns was written for my dear friend Antigoni Goni, who has recorded it at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Brussels with cellist Amy Norrington and violinist Vincent Hepp ; their playing is really brilliant and done with great feeling and sensitivity (which is not exactly what we hear these techno-days). Perhaps a few words from the composer (or co-composer) might be in order. This music is based on a few remaining fragments of the antique Greek music; whereas both Mesomedes music and Seikilos Epitaph date to early 2nd century AD, the Delphic Hymns are of an earlier date, 128 BC. While I don’t pretend to know what this music really was like, I have followed the structural blueprint of every fragment to try and conjure this music into this time.

Program Note: A work derived from the Toccata “Prylis” op.85, written for and dedicated to famous piano soloist Sorina Aust – Ioan. Seven short pieces based on the main musical material of the Toccata. Once upon a time in Ancient Greece, female warriors used to perform a severe and rhythmic dance called "Prylis". It was the sheer counterpart of the very well-known male war dance "Pyrrihios". In my imagination, "Prylis" was the dance performed in 1803, before the Greek Revolution, by women of Souli, a village of Hepiros in North-West Greece, while on the run of the Ottomans were thrown by themselves one by one from the cliffs of the mount Zalongo not to be captured and disgraced by them becoming a symbol of heroism and self-sacrifice over the years!

I. The Wanderer
II. On the Vision and the Riddle
III. On the Vision and the Riddle
Alexandra Papachristou, piano
Program Note: The idea of composing this piece is inspired by Nietzsche's famous philosophical work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra", and specifically the first two chapters of the third part of the book; "The Wanderer" and "On the Vision and the Riddle". In my opinion, "The Wanderer" is an introduction for "On the Vision and the Riddle", a preparation for the vision of the loneliest one that Zarathustra describes. Each movement of the piece describes each of the three chapters ("On the Vision and the Riddle" has got two parts). I believe that these two little chapters and the whole philosophical work generally, is a true treasure and a legacy of culture that this so gifted a man called "Friedrich Nietzche" has given to the world of philosophy, art and the whole humanity. Thus, I attempted to convert these pompous, aggressive, energetic and simultaneously so lyrical, poetic and inspiring words into a piano piece. I perceive these two chapters as a mystical and dark atmosphere, as an imaginary abysmal, majestic internal world of human mind.

Program Notes: In 2020, a year marred by inactivity and isolation, I found myself yearning for even more stillness in my music. This piece is, in spirit and musically, a continuation of my 2017 work, I find I have less to say. That work was written in response to the overwhelm I felt in contemplating the aftermath of the 2016 election, and my worries about the future. this is where I am right now finds me no longer worrying about an imagined future, but instead facing the tumult of the present with a mixture of dread, anxiety, fear, and hope.

I. Fountain
II. Glacier
III. Plateau
IV. Baobab
V. Cloud Forest
VI. Black Smoker
VII. Satellite
Gloria Cheng, piano
Program Note: Seven Memorials is inspired by a project of the artist Maya Lin, to build a “last memorial” dedicated to the extinction of species on our planet. Lin imagines this project having seven different sites:
Site 1 Yellowstone, the first national park
Site 2 Antarctica, the first international park
Site 3 Tibet, gateway to the sky
Site 4 Africa, the last great plains
Site 5 The Amazon, forest of the world
Site 6 The ocean floor
Site 7 Satellite link—watching all sites, monitoring the planet
The scope and ambition of this idea struck me immediately, but I didn’t think of making a piece of music around it until I was studying Olivier Messiaen’s two-hour cycle for piano, Vingt Regards sur l’enfant-Jésus, written in 1944. It occurred to me that Maya Lin’s memorial project could be portrayed as a series of a pieces, “gazes upon the earth” (this is how I envision the last movement, “Satellite”).
Titles for the individual movements come from the need to narrow the subject—although each place is so vast that one could write a whole two hours about any of them, I wanted to keep the entire length around a half-hour. Thus, the first movement becomes a single geyser instead of the entire Yellowstone; a glacier represents all of Antarctica; and so on. A black smoker—the sixth movement—is an underwater volcanic vent, spewing sulfur and lava out of the ocean floor. In many ways this movement, featuring prepared piano strings, is a sort of “rhyme” to the first movement’s volcanic geyser.
Seven Memorials is dedicated in friendship and admiration to the pianist Gloria Cheng, for whom it was written.
Performer’s note: The unusual time signatures in some movements—5/12, 6/14, 7/20, etc.—are extensions of tuplet rhythms, based on a whole note’s duration. For example, a 4/4 bar full of 8th-note triplets would consist of 12 notes; this bar could also be thought of as 12/12 (just like a bar with eight 8th notes can be called 8/8). The time signature 5/12, then, consists of 5 “triplets”—in other words, 1 + 2/3 beats. Similarly, 6/14 means 6 “septuplets,” nearly (but not quite) half as long as a 4/4 bar.
The appropriate tuplet number appears in parentheses for these unusual time signatures, to show the intended speed of the notes.
Between movements 5 and 6 the pianist must mute some of the strings (indicated on p. 39) with four short strips of Blu-Tac (or equivalent). To place the Blu-Tac on the strings as efficiently and unobtrusively as possible, the pianist should have the strips ready to go, perhaps resting on the pinblock, before the performance. The Blu-Tac must be removed after the sixth movement.
Individual movements may be played separately if desired.
