Songs for Epirus for alto saxophone and percussion

Songs for Epirus for Alto Saxophone and Percussion includes four songs inspired by the poetry of Chrysanthi Zitsea. The inspiration comes from scenes in Epirus, Greece, the birthplace of the composer. Other works with the same theme were composed in 2002, but the present rendition is new and was composed in February 2013.

This piece was premiered by the colleagues of the composer saxophonist Griffin Campbell and percussionist Brett Dietz at Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall in New York on November 24, 2013. This work is dedicated to Griffin Campbell and Brett Dietz.
