Program note for: Invitation To A Dance

Invitation To A Dance is a composition that reminds us to dance when words are insufficient.

Dance is at the heart of every culture.

Moving our body to rhythm when we hear music that invites us to dance, is a personal expression.

Invitation To A Dance

Clarinet Quintet

Quiet Night takes its inspiration from the still of the night: moments of
  reflection, recurring thoughts, heightened perception, and a starry sky,
  contribute all to a sensation of voyage into space.

Program note for: We Were Young

We Were Young is a short composition based on a text by the English poet, Alfred E. Housman (1859-1936).

The music starts by highlighting the first word of the text, through a succession of sustained notes.

The meaning of the text is further enhanced through the use of colorful harmony.

At the end, the key is now firmly established, and the title of the poem (We Were Young) is stated in all voices.

We Were Young

SSAATTBB Octavo

In a dream, I saw images of a peaceful life: time passed slowly enough,
  as if I were allowed to witness the serenity of an enchanted place.  Far from being motionless, that place was
  untroubled in its harmony and its tranquility.
    
    
    
    Images of A Dream, with its succession of melodic phrases, contrasting
  sections, and romantic atmosphere, is a symphonic poem that speaks of peace.

Program note for: Ballet in the air

Ballet in the air, is a composition that tells the story of one day in the life of a butterfly, who after being chased and caught, three times managed to escape.
Moments of happiness, tension, and sadness are symbolically attached to the story.
At the end of the composition, cherishing its freedom by resuming its ballet in the air, the butterfly reminded the composer of this Irish blessing:

May the wings of the butterfly kiss the sun.
And find your shoulder to light on.
To bring you luck, happiness and riches.
Today, tomorrow and beyond.

Sunlight Through The Woods is a piano composition, inspired by sunlight
  beams that create dramatic effects in the woods.

Piano Solo

Dies Passioni Domini is the first movement of a composition about the
  apostle, Maria Magdalena.
    
    
    
    In that work, the day that Christ has been crucified, Maria Magdalena is
  lamenting over the verdict and punishment administered to her Lord.   The orchestra and the chorus play an
  active role in the story.

Dies Passioni Domini

Prisoner Of The Sea is a symphonic poem in which the composer recalls
  when He almost drowned at sea.  Images
  of wave crashing, turbulent waters, imminent tragedy, as well as happy
  moments, are all succeeding as the music progresses.
    
    
    
    Many sections that contrast in character, exhibit themes that are repeated,
  transformed, or varied.  Meter and
  tempo changes, mixed harmonies, and rhythmic syncopations help the story to
  unfold with dramatic musical associations.
