The Feast of Herod

Completed in August 2023, the Feast of Herod is scored for Greek bouzouki, violin, viola, cello and double bass.   The work depicts a banquet scene, where a veiled dancer performs an exotic dance, followed by dancers of the harem.   It is made up of two movements, characterized by an emphasis on melody and rhythm, rather than harmony and makes use of variational techniques (ornamentation, melodic/rhythmic patterns).
