The album WHERE SHALL I FIND MY SOUL... (Tribute to Mikis Theodorakis) includes arrangements by Alkis Baltas on melodies written by the great Greek composer Mikis Theodorakis. The song "I open the door at night" is arranged for string orchestra, while the "Four sorrowful songs" have been arranged for symphony orchestra. The composition "Where shall I find my soul..." is an orchestral Suite with duration of 31 minutes and is based on melodies of songs by Theodorakis, which succeed one another without interruption. The title of the work comes from the refrain of a song by Theodorakis in his emblematic work "Axion Esti". The music of this refrain is used in several musical passages between the Suite's melodies.
