Program Notes
This composition draws upon the rich traditional themes of the Azores, written in the wake of an inspiring visit to these breathtaking islands. Deeply moved by the natural beauty and cultural spirit of the region, the composer sought to reflect that experience through music. The piece weaves elements of Azorean folk melodies into a vivid and expressive soundscape, inviting listeners to immerse themselves in the charm, rhythm, and soul of the islands.
