"Time present and time past
Are both perhaps present in time future
And time future contained in time past.
If all time is eternally present
All time is unredeemable.
What might have been is an abstraction Remaining a perpetual possibility
Only in a world of speculation.
What might have been and what has been
Point to one end, which is always present."

"The Passage", for alto flute, viola and piano (2010) op.46
Introduction
I.Ten Minutes
II.I have something to tell you!
III.Do you remember the river?
The work is based on the three, one act, theatrical plays by Greek writer and doctor Harry Candiloros, published under the same name by "Dodoni" in 2010. The story is about the passage between this life and life after death. The 1st is about a cosmological end which never happens. The 2nd about the death of two friends under a collapsed building after an earthquake. The 3d about an afterlife dialogue between the persons of a family. Each of the three parts of the work is written respectively after the reading of the three parts of the book.
First performance by "Meteora Ensemble" (Julia Barnett: alto flute, Kathryn Christensen:piano) with Andrea Hemmenway: viola as guest artist at Palisades Lutheran Church, Los Angeles, California in 2010. The work was transcribed for violin, baritone saxophone and piano in 2012.

“Two Rivers” (from Lethe to Mnemosyne)
for mezzo soprano, flute, clarinet,
violin, cello and piano
(2008) op.41
for mezzo soprano, flute, clarinet,
violin, cello and piano
(2008) op.41
I. Lethe, the Water of Oblivion
a. The Guardians
b. Night Procession and Lament
II. Mnemosyne, the Water of Remembrance
a. Invocation
b. Incantation
The work is written between September and December 2008 for mezzo soprano Angelica Cathariou and the Greek Ensemble of Contemporary Music under Valery Oreshkin. It is based on an excerpt of an ancient greek funerary inscription of 4th century B.C. found at the Trofonius Oracle in Petilia, South Italy.
"Γης παις ειμί και ουρανού, αστερόεντος. Αυτάρ εμοί γένος ουράνιον, τόδε ίστε και αυτοί. Δίψηι δ’ειμί αύη και απόλλυμαι, αλλά δότ’ αίψα ψυχρόν ύδωρ προρρέον της Μνημοσύνης από λίμνης."
(I am a child of earth and starry sky. My origin is celestial, and you know it very well. I am burning thurst and I loose myself. But give me soon cool water, springs from Lake Mnemosyne.)
The text, which is being set at the 2nd part of the work, is an invocation of the soul descending to Hades to the guardians of lake Mnemosyne, to allow keeping its memory alive to the next life. Privilege, under tradition, of the initiate souls, counter to that of lake Lethe which led them to eternal oblivion.
The two parts of the composition are equivalent to the watery – the metaphysical element of the two lakes - rivers running across Hades. The work is dedicated to the memory of composer's father Ioannis Theodossiou (1917 - 2008) and has been performed by Angelica Kathariou and the Greek Ensemble of Contemporary Music under Valery Oreshkin at "Ph. Nakas" Concert Hall, Athens, in 2009.

String Quartet
"Et expecto..." In memoriam Gyorgi Ligeti
(2006) op.35
"Et expecto..." In memoriam Gyorgi Ligeti
(2006) op.35
The work is written in the memory of G. Ligeti. It goes from strict atonal to tonal and almost neoclassical idiom, from inner intense expression to parody and grotesque humour. Elements so characteristic in the musical language of the honored composer.
The 5 parts are:
1. Introduction: "Strange Visitors" (Lento misterioso)
2. Scherzo I: Interrupted cha-cha : "Faith's Dance" (Andantino scherzando)
.Intermezzo: "Et expecto..."(Larghetto semplice)
. Scherzo II: "Devil's Dance" (Allegro giocoso)
5. Finale: "Flames" (Feroce)
There is also a programmatic scenario behind the five mouvements of the work: Strange visitors appear threatening or cheating. And suddenly Faith start to dance an interrupted cha –cha. Expectation stands in the center of the work and in the soul of our hero. Devil’s dance leads to the final test. Flames. Flames of purification or flames of hell?
It has been performed by the ensemble “ALEA III” under Theodor Antoniou at “Tsai Performance Centre”, Boston University in 2007. Parts of the work have been performed by "Athens Bridge Quartet" at Faculty Lounge, Deree College under the project "Composing the String Quartet" of Deree Arts Festival in 2013.
"Athens Bridge Quartet" recorded it ion CD (MOTIVO BQ1070) among Greek Composers Works in 2017.

"Temptations”
Dialogues for clarinet and viola
(2004) op.26
Dialogues for clarinet and viola
(2004) op.26
The work written for the duo: Giannis Sabrovalakis-Andreas Georgotas in a programmatic character, is a series of variations in a concertante style. The exposition of intervallic and motivic elements in the introduction (In the Desert), leads suddenly and unexpectedly (as it fits to a temptation) to 9 short appearances - disguises (Apparitions) - the 5th is a prayer and the 8th a Devil’s Dance. Finale (Flames) is in the peak of technical and expressional demands.
Large intervals growing high like a cry to the listener between the two instruments and the strict contrapuntal writing suggest an interchange of roles between the tempting one and the other being tempted. Devil’s Dance and Finale rearranged later as parts of the “String Quartet” (2006).

“Hear the Voice inside You …”
(2003) op.22
Written in a strict and abstract dodecaphonic style, follows the form of a theme and 12 variations- miniatures (in the style of Webern) with an epilogue. There is an emphasis between the intervallic and motivic interrelations of the initial tone row and the planning of the work.

I."Riddle" (to Yannis Christou)
II."Gnome" (to Gyorgy Ligeti)
III."Fire Dance" (to Arnold Scoenberg)

“Nocturne”, for flute, oboe (or clarinet),
cello and piano (2003) op.20, op.20b
cello and piano (2003) op.20, op.20b
An extended dodecaphonic work in the form of theme and variations. Its mystic mood (like a all night long ritual) follows the strict composing process. It is divided in seven parts: Theme, Var. I – V, and Epilogue. The 5th Variation is a greek dance (Danza alla Greca).
Because of the demanding and soloistic part of the cello, the work could be a concertino for this instrument. The performance took place at the “Hellenic American Union” Theatre by the Hellenic Ensemble for Contemporary Music under Iakovos Konitopoulos.
