SIX PIECES OF JOY AND MELANCHOLY is a collection of short pieces with a more melodic and in some cases rhythmic character. 

The pieces were composed individually for different occasions, but they work together somehow and offer the performer and the audience a roller-coaster sensation through the constant change of mood. 

Danceuphoria is the opening piece, an uneven, powerful dance which immediately creates an uplifting mood. 

Melodic Sorrow is a piece dedicated to the memory of my father, Konstantinos Nousis. It's one of the first pieces I wrote for guitar as a teenager. Here you can read an evolved version of that first piece which keeps the simplicity of the primary inspiration.

Lifeness is an  ode to life piece full of rich colors, melodies and harmonies. 

Meditation, originally written as the theme music for a Reiki Yoga YouTube channel, is a very slow and meditative piece with short melodic legato lines. 

Hope evokes warmer feelings. A simplistic piece based on natural harmonies that calms and soothes us.

Finally, Cascading Waltz was chosen as the final piece, because it can be freely interpreted by any performer and gives the opportunity for diverse crescendos and accelerandos.

The pieces can complement the repertoire of young students as well as professional guitarists who seek a modern yet melodic approach to the guitar.
