Archanes was an ancient city of the Minoan era located on the Greek island of Crete. It used to be the summer palace of the Minoan Kings, but is also a mystic city of my imagination disclosing all its charms and mysteries throughout the time. From the ancient city itself and the palace with its imaginary king to the ancient necropolis, from the fountain and the medieval castle to the sacred mountain of Jiuchtas. seven images are unfolded in each part of the work. Seven landscapes before a fantastic visitor, who wanders among these imaginary landscapes... The parts: I. The old city from afar (Allegro semplice) II Night in the ancient palace (l' istesso tempo) III. King Archos (Allegro feroce) IV. The Ancient Necropolis (Adagio mystico) V. The Old Castle (lie a fanfare) VI. The Fountain (l'istesso tempo, flowing) VI. The Sacred Maountaiun (l' istesso tempo, maestoso, con forza) The composition process of the work 'Archanes for piano solo op.91 follows a mix of tonal and atonal elements. It is dedicated to pianist Konstantinos Papadakis (director of the Summer Piano Academy in Archanes, Crete,, Greece).

Anakrasis, for piano solo (1999). Written for the final concert of the seminar Piano Music of 20th Century by pianist Efi Agrafioti the work is dedicated to her. It follows the intervallic symmetry of Paraklisis (1991) for clarinet solo but in a more free way and with the use of traditionally tonic elements. Here the composer taking advantage of the particular sonority of different regions of the instrument, attempts to « describe » the anakrasis the transubstantiation of the consecrated bread and wine to body and blood of Jesus Christ in the ritual of the Holly Mass. The performance took place the same year by the composer in the final concert of the seminar at Athens Cultural Centre, recorded as well by the Hellenic Radio Television and came up on a CD production by MOTIVO under the title Piano Works by Greek Composers.

Prylis, An Ancient Greek Female War Dance, Toccata for piano solo Op.85.  (2020)
A work in the form of a toccata, written for and dedicated to famous piano soloist Sorina Aust – Ioan.
Once upon a time in Ancient Greece, female warriors used to perform a severe and rythmic dance called Prylis. It was the sheer counterpart of the very well-known male war dance Pyrrihios. In my imagination, Prylis was the dance performed in 1803, before the Greek Revolution, by women of Souli, a village of Hepiros in North-West Greece, while on the run of the Ottomans were thrown by themselves one by one from the cliffs of the mount Zalongo not to be captured and disgraced by them becoming a symbol of heroism and self-sacrifice over the years!
