Six Balkan Miniatures           Dusan Bogdanovic

This work was written in 1993, during a period of great strife in the former Yugoslavia. The pain of these Balkan wars inspired this music about which the composer wrote:

"It is both tragic and ironic to see the further disintegration of the land and the people, while being aware of the unique cultural stamp of the whole area.  So, it might be that the art among other universal human endeavors, still shows us a way of harmonizing and synthesizing the most diverse elements coming from the same source.  It is in this spirit that I dedicate this music to World Peace."
