I have been lucky enough to work with some of the great musicians of our time, and I was fortunate to work with the Russian soprano and concert pianist, Larisa Ezhelenko. I wrote quite a large quantity of music for us to perform together, both original compositions and transcriptions of works by composers from different eras. We very much enjoyed performing Italian music, and here are three arias by Antonio Vivaldi and Vincenzio Bellini which I re-imagined and embellished with decorational features of my own, musical butterflies fluttering around the original harmonies.
