Vladica Mikićević – Voices From a Lithuanian Forest. The inspiration for this work came from listening to the sound of the wind, alone in the woods. Listening carefully, I thought I could make out the sound of human voices: whispering, singing, shouting, crying. The composition has three parts. The first part conveys the whispering of the wind at the edge of the forest, which we can feel through dynamic variations from pianissimo to forte fortissimo. The second part takes us deep into the forest, where the winds are pitched in battle, a dialogue of shouts and cries. The third and final part soars high above the trees, allowing us to witness from a bird’s perspective an entire vision of the forest and its sounds.

Vladica Mikićević – Collage of Immortal Pictures. In Collage of Immortal Pictures, seven parts unite into one musical collage, rich in colour and emotion. Each picture has its own atmosphere, with a different character and tempo. The first, third, fifth and seventh pictures are slow and melancholic in character, with an emphasis on the relation in colour between accordion and strings. Pictures two, four and six are faster – suitable for dancing, with expressive rhythms and accents. The interplay between accordion and strings supports these pictures in their build-up towards the climax.
