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).
