Program Notes
Sound Asleep, a lullaby for wind ensemble, was commissioned by the Jensen Beach [Fla.] High School Symphonic Band, which give the work its world premiere performance. The piece is dedicated to the memory of Vincent Michael Peter Bocchino, Jr., a 2002 graduate of Martin County High School. Vinny was a friend to many in this community and tirelessly committed his life to helping others.
Sound Asleep reflects on the qualities of life in an optimistic perspective, using a fundamentally tonal palette in achieving a calm and comforting message. It reverberates the nostalgic, and at times, bittersweet memories with friends and loved ones of whom we hold and have held dearest to us. Finally, it serves as a loving remembrance to those who have energized, inspired, and transformed the community around them to live more fruitful and meaningful lives.
