Program Notes
Searching For Lost Dreams (2013) was commissioned for the 75th anniversary of the New Jersey All State Bands. The composer offers the following about the work:
As I began this piece, it was as though I was entering a dream. The music was atmospheric, undefined, and somewhat disorienting. Gradually the material became more focused, but just in time to switch to a very different – though related – sound world, which became the second movement. There was an overall poignancy and dramatic shape to the music that suggested the title that currently exists.
