A Boy’s Dream
Written as a commission for the Palmetto Consortium of South Carolina, this expansive work explores the delight, wonderment and excitement of a young boy’s hopes and dreams. Several stylistic elements combine to depict various emotions and imaginings. In the words of the composer, “a boy’s dreams are fantastical and mysterious, show great curiosity and yet most importantly, they are innocent and credulous.” A terrific and fresh work for winds!
