Program Notes:

In Arabesque, I was exploring and developing a few tangled motives which echo imaginary shepherd songs and interwoven Middle-Eastern melodies typically played on the local Ney Flute. With characteristic Baroque instrumentation, I tried to give the medium a different, more contemporary yet ethnic view.

Arabesque was generously commissioned in memory of Adele and John Gray.
