Performance: Flute soloist: Laszlo Demeter Budapest Scoring String Orchestra under Zoltan Pad

This work is composed in my favourite mode: Dorian The poem which inspired it, written by my mother E M Solomons, depicts a lover thinking of his/her late beloved and, at dawn, seeing him/her like a ghost confirming that love is still there.:

The pale gold light creeps into my silent room touching my face I know that you are here.

Softly contours form as the colours take the place of grey

Translucent gold hits the mirror and reaches my lonely bed.

Dispels the grey mist which lingers on the window pane Deepens the image and I see you.

Pale blond light where your hair once shone.

Lonely shadow of my former self I languish here.

But then your dear voice calls with comfort, love and says "I have not left, while your fond memories remain." I think of you and you are here beside and within

Your image fades but you are still here in me.

You must you must come back if only at dawn.

See through the tears of gold, you are here once more Your ghostly presence fills my poor heart,

searching my mind once more to be as one,

here is your body so close to my own in this spectral world we share our thoughts.

My soul now quiet at last my yearnings on hold.

The golden glow brings me peace and I might face another day (c) E M Solomons
