ABOUT THE MUSIC
Thesedays of political turmoil in EasternEuropefind their focus especiallyin Yugoslavia, the heart of the Balkans,and my homeland. It is both tragic and ironic to seethe further disintegration of the land and the people,while being awareof the unique cultural stamp of the whole area.So, it might be that the art among other universal human endeavors, still shows us a \ /ay of harmonizing and synthesizing the most diverseelements coming from the same source. It is in this spirit that I dedicate this music to World Peace. Atl the six miniatures share characteristicsof modally based harmony and flexible oddmeter. Overall, the forms are simple, based on repetition of phrases,often in different harmonic contexts.The Morning, Macedonian, and Tiny-knit Dances are all interrelated thematically and harmonically. The two songs present contrast in feeling and mood. Of all the miniatures, Vranjanka is the only one based on an actual traditional dance, whereasall the others are composed in a variety of synthesis.The Tiny-knit Dance alludes to the nimble fingers of "obligatory" accordeon or frula (flute)players, one often hears in village weddings or other festivities. Dušan BogdanoviČ
GLOSSARY
1o volta poco sostenuto - Start in slower tempo (sostenuto),then proceed in tempo indicated () = 152) (1" volta only). In the third movement hold back at the end of every measure.It is crucial to understand the fermata as part of the general rhythmic flow (Vranjanka Dance). Golpe* 1 - Unlike the common Golpe which uses the thuffib, this Golpe employs the index finger to hit the strings over the fingerboard. Perc.*- Hit the side of the guitar just above the neck with the palm of the right hand. In the sixth movement the tempo increasesgradually from Meno mosso subito (l = 80) to Presto (J = I52).
