Elysium
ELYSIUM was written in Summer and Autumn, 1993. In Greek mythology, Elysium is the final resting place for people of courage. This gentle piece is dedicated to my friend and collegue, Hans-Ola Ericsson and to the memory of my friend and teacher, American pianist Yvar Mikhashoff. Elysium was commissioned by Mr. Ericsson through the generosity of the Canada Council.
