Music for Cyprus for violin or oboe, soprano saxophone and piano

The composer states, “Music for Cyprus was written at the suggestion of the eminent saxophonist Yiannis Miralis for a concert of my works. The piece was premiered at Cyprus University by the Trio Mirales at the Cyprus University in Nicosia, Cyprus, on April 4, 2005. The work is dedicated to the Ambassador of Cyprus to the United States, the Honorable Euripides L. Evriviades, who gave me the idea of using folk tunes from Cyprus for my composition.”

Written for violin or oboe, soprano saxophone, and piano, Music for Cyprus employs three folk tunes from Cyprus.
