Program notes:
Hidden Reflections was written for saxophonist Styliani Tartsinis who premiered the work and recorded it. The piece is in two movements: first, “The March of the _______!!!” is an impression of a grotesque march and alternates between odd and steady meters. The second movement, “The evening of the first snow” is nostalgic and meditative, inspired by the falling snow flakes in one evening of Bostonian winter.
