ALKIS BALTAS - Variations in Blue
Orchestra of Colours / Miltos Logiadis
The word “Blue” in the title refers to my homeland. With elements reminiscent of traditional music, the initial theme aims to clarify this reference to Greece, my beloved country. Five variations on this theme follow. Each has symbolic titles, referring to various situations and sentiments which I have at times felt while living in this particular country.
Variation 1 - The Blue Wave (Search)
Variation 2 - The Blue of the Sky (Vision)
Variation 3 - The Blue Rain (Indifference)
Variation 4 - The Blue Flame (Faith)
Variation 5 - The Blue Storm (Dead end)
The work ends, as it started, with “Blue”, the theme of my country.
