Souvenir Chest, Book I

SOUVENIR CHEST, BOOK I includes the first 5 gems in Hodkinson's ongoing collection of short, contrasting studies ranging in duration from 1 to 7 minutes. The emotional nature of each piece varies extensively and — whether they dress in garb that is comical, angry, jazz-pop inflected, “academic,” or sedate — they are all instigated by the sounds of the composer's personal remembrances.
