About the Music
Hidden Reflections is a two-movement work for alto saxophone and piano that explores the instrument’s expressive range, rhythmic agility, and coloristic possibilities. The first movement, The March of the _______!!!, unfolds as a grotesque, rhythmically playful march shifting between odd and steady meters. The second movement, The Evening of the First Snow, turns inward, offering a nostalgic, meditative atmosphere inspired by a Boston winter night. Written for Styliani Tartsinis, who premiered and recorded the work, the piece offers a vivid and contrasting addition to the contemporary saxophone repertoire. It is ideal for professional saxophonists and pianists, as well as advanced students developing color, rhythmic clarity, and expressive contrast. The composition works exceptionally well in contemporary chamber concerts, dedicated Alto Saxophone and Piano recitals, and auditions or competitions that value rhythmic precision, expressive depth, and stylistic versatility. It is highly effective in intimate and medium-sized halls where color and resonance can be fully appreciated.
