Program Notes

All of us are taught to have big dreams and to pursue those dreams. In the spirit of this ideal, Roland Barrett salutes all great dreamers by examining the connection between thought and deed, contemplation and action. Divided into six main sections, each "dream" passage leads to an ensuing "proclamation." Powerful, emotional, and energetic, the work moves to a fantastic close.

Dreams and Proclamations was commissioned by the Las Vegas High School Band and its directors Anthony C. Polzien and Joe G. Williams II, to celebrate the 100th Birthday of the city of Las Vegas, Nevada.
