| A homage to Spiro's Unforgetable mother. Six months after her passing away Spiro's father visited him in the US. It was during that period (March 2001) Spiro expressed this soulful piece of music.Halfway through his flowing impro(3'40'') he introduces his father's( well -known Greek Jazz band leader ) swing hit of the late 40's in Greece" I LOST YOU BUT I HAVEN'T FORGOTTEN YOU" .This light, upbeat ,swinging song becomes a somber ,soulful ballad in the hands of Spiro who seems to be honouring both his mom & dad at the same time.

| The Trademark of Spiro's Greek Music. Composed in 1997 on poetry by Dino Makropoulos became the favoutite of the Greek Community.The song presents 2nd & 3rd generation GreekAmericans telling the world with pride THEY ARE WORTHY SUCCESSORS OF THEIR GLORIOUS ANCESTORS. Spiro has visualised a modern -archaic included- dance group dancing in juxtaposition to 2 ( men & women) Greek folkoric groups. The 3 groups finally join at the end in a glorious HASAPIKO dance, a dance that became famous through the ZORBA film. " WE THE HELLENES" is one of Spiro's songs he hopes to have performed at the OLYMPIC GAMES 2004 in ATHENS . Help needed for that dream to materialize.

progresses from one phrase to another indicating
he's really playing this for the very

| A Stepping Stone of Spiro's Voyage type music(all strings) in that it is the last piece of that nature expressed around 1996.Unprecedented use of suspensions mixed with advanced Jazz chord progressions & an endless search. Feeling that he had gone too far or too deep with this piece Spiro decided to get down to planet Earth (lol) & get involved with more earthy stuff..at least for a while...Result of this return was his Greek New Age Music samples of which you can find on this site. (this is not the best recording yet...until next time) |

| For those who remember the hit French film "UN HOMME UNE FEMME" (A man & A Woman) this is Spiro's reminder of that atmosphere. A Very Dreamy Orchestral Rendition of his love theme "Beast's Love". Ingenious interplay & juxtaposition of 3 different speeds throughout.. You can click on title to learn more...ULTRA ROMANTIQUE !!(cover art by MARIE NOELLE, www.artnoize.com)

| A no frills but Direct & Soulful Piano Rendition of Jim Van Heusen's Classic Ballad......Spiro got the inspiration from a christening gig on Sat.May 3 when the band he was playing with performed the requested song in the Celine Dion - Frank Sinatra format.....notice how the melody is taken by high & low registers to project a duet format .....only this time it feels more like a Beauty & the Beast duet.....Art cover by Marie Noelle (www.artnoize.com) |

| Here is a Soulful Ballad Spiro composed for the Piano in 1998 . A year later he decided to send it to Andrea Bocelli so he added a bridge and incorporated 4 variational embellishments at the end of the piece where the modulation starts....Spiro saw in WHAT IF the perfect opportunity to blend POP & OPERA in a balanced way. WHAT IF has become the trademark of Spiro's Easy Listening Piano Playing !!! So here is the song in its demo form (with no lyrics as yet...)....Yianni Papastefanou sings the embellishments at the end. ENJOY!! |
