Composition Threads is inspired by chanting of Balkan women. Scattered fragments of chanting, at the beginning of the composition, form a group of melodic strings that are further expanded in the following four short variations. Having a Balkan background, I realized that I am caught in a network of threadlike memories, each of which has a specific sound streaming from music of my heritage. The composition is an attempt to follow these threads. Threads Angela Kim Brown Hall, Boston 3/2005
