Christos Hatzis	Jul 21 2008 2:48 AM Great fiddling. Thank you very much for adding me to your circle of friends. I would like to invite you to listen to some of my folk-inspired music: TELLURIC DANCES for oboe and orchestra (an oboe concerto) on my MySpace audio player and MYSTICAL VISITATION, THIS IS MY BODY and ON DEATH AND DYING from my multimedia music theatre work CONSTANTINOPLE on the attached flash audio player. The latter two selections include some great fiddle solos by Hugh Marsh and Annalee Patipatanakoon. All best wishes, Christos Hatzis www. hatzis. com
