Chiaroscuro
Chiaroscuro for Orchestra, Composed by Aris Antoniades Performed by the MSM Symphony Orchestra George Manahan, Conductor Score available for purchase here: https://www.arisantoniades.com/product-page/chiaroscuro-for-orchestra-score-and-parts This recording is from the premiere performance at the Riverside Church, NYC, on Feb. 23, 2018 Chiaroscuro is an artistic technique, developed during the Renaissance, that uses strong tonal contrasts between light and dark to model three-dimensional forms. The clash between light and darkness, good and evil, buries strong archetypal associations that have effectively shaped the course of humanity over the centuries. This spiritual struggle, still very much alive today, has been the source of inspiration for this work. The piece is dedicated to my brother, and best friend, George Antoniades.

Lullaby & Fugue
Lullaby & Fugue Composed by Aris Antoniades Yutong Li, Chinese dulcimer Sheng-Ching Hsu, violin Amber Ho, cello Daniel Feng, piano Score available for purchase: https://www.arisantoniades.com/product-page/lullaby-fugue This recording is from the premiere performance at the Riverside Church (Christs' Chapel, NYC, on August 4, 2017 This piece was commissioned by the Sforzando Composers' Collective for the New Asia Chamber Music Society. When I was presented with the challenge of composing a work combining traditional Chinese instruments with conventional Western instruments, I was quite intrigued: merging different sound-worlds has always been a strong compositional interest of mine. I am fascinated by folk music and, being born and raised on the Mediterranean island of Cyprus, much of my music is greatly influenced by my Greek cultural heritage. This piece is no different: I’ve attempted to use the enchanting sound of the Chinese Dulcimer in a way that reminds me of my home. Lullaby and Fugue is a work inspired by the magical art of storytelling. I still remember many of the bedtime stories my grandparents used to tell me when I was young. Their stories were not just entertaining, but also didactic: I follow many of their teachings to this very day, and I believe that these stories have played a vital role in shaping my character. The Lullaby portrays the soothing aspect of a bedtime story, whilst the Fugue represents the hidden, ‘cerebral’ aspect. I would like to thank my friends at the Sforzando Composers Collective for this great opportunity and all of the performers for their time and dedication. Additionally, I would like to thank my mentor, Dr. J. Mark Stambaugh for helping me discover the true “magic” of counterpoint, back in college. Finally, I would like to dedicate this piece to the greatest storytellers in the world: my grandparents George, Panayiota, Anthis, and Persoulla. Website: https://www.arisantoniades.com
