"Persis" (Greek word for Persia) is a Fantasy-Overture, which tells the story of a modern day American man who travels back through time to the ancient Persian city of Persepolis. He begins a wild and wonderful adventure as he is suddenly surrounded by magnificent architecture, grand marble statues, and beautiful works of art in one of the earliest known cultured civilizations. Then, he turns and sees a beautiful Persian woman in a flower-laden courtyard. She is the most beautiful woman he has ever seen in his life, and he is completely captivated by her. He carefully approaches her, and miraculously, she recognizes him as someone she had known before in another place and time. They embrace and share a brief, blissful moment together. But his presence in the Royal courtyard is forbidden and he finds himself being chased by armed warriors. As he runs franticly through the corridors of the city, he reflects sadly on the romance that might have been.
