Program Notes

Anyone who has children knows what a blessing they are. I am extremely fortunate to have my wonderful daughter, Carmen, who puts up with my crazy teaching, writing, and travel schedule, and still treats me wonderfully. The original title of this piece was “Little One’s Dream,” and comes from the fact that I have always referred to Carmen as my “little one!’ I think she probably doesn’t appreciate it as much now, since she’s in high school, but like any corny parent, she will always be my “little one” no matter how old she is. Obviously one of my main goals in life is to help Carmen achieve her dreams (and she has many!). This piece is my way of saying that I will always support her as she tries to reach those dreams.
