Reflections VII to Music for reader and chamber orchestra

Abstract

Reflections VII - To Music (1994) is written for reader and chamber orchestra on three poems by Pinkie Gordon Lane. All three of these poems deal with music, hence the title of the work. To Music is written in honor of the International Heritage Celebration Festival of Baton Rouge, and dedicated to the composer’s daughter Lenna, who is a first generation Greek American.

Reflections is a series of works written for chamber groups and voice. The music evokes images based on either the composer’s past experiences or the poetry.
