Midnight Song is inspired by beautiful poetry:
Midnight Song is inspired by beautiful poetry:
- At night all sleeps, and birds and flowers and a man and longing and happiness and sadness...
but in some soul even then among stars' game, music is born, which with fervor of magical thoughts sings to all sleepers, awakes them from a dream, with moon's veil, the truth of love, reflection of notes, over the blue sea of desires... -
(Croatian original)
- U noći sve spava, i ptice i cvijeće i čovjek i žudnja i sreća i tuga...
ali u nekoj duši i tada među igrom zvijezda, rađa se glazba, te zanosom čarobnih misli pjeva za usnule, budi ih iz sna, velom mjeseca, istinom ljubavi, odsjajem nota, nad modrim morem želja... -

Hundreds of people attended the Arad State Philharmonic's final concert of the season held on July 6th at beautiful open air stage of Lacul Pădurice, a lake in downtown Arad, Romania. Among Andalusian, tango and Latin rhythms of known works by de Falla, Piazzolla and Di Marino, Mr. Šiša's Melancholic Tango for flute and orchestra was performed with great success by prominent Romanian flutist Constantin Talmaciu accompanied by Arad State Philharmonic Orchestra under Miran Vaupotić. Composer writes about his music:
Melancholic Tango is a piece for flute solo and orchestra which in traditional rhythm of tango music describes invitation to the dance. Woman in red dress on a dancing floor in a burning desire searching for love and a warm squeeze from a man who will understand her. Flute symbolizes a woman while tutti theme symbolizes a dancing couple with a sweep of tango flying to happiness. But happiness might disappear and music sounds melancholic as well as proud. Arad is an old culture center of Romania, with a prolonged and considerable musical tradition. In the year 1833 the setup of a Conservatory is recorded, the sixth in Europe, which institutionalizes a specialized music learning program.
