This lighthearted quodlibet was commissioned by ASTA and premiered at the 2015 conference. It provides a fabulous tool to introduce your students to key musical themes across time. The score plays off of the musician's nocturnal mind to combine twelve historic themes by condensing and expanding them the way our subconscious mind often toys with daytime experiences. In total, this composition celebrates the string player's full potential: Where loyalty to the written note serves the imagination's creative playground. What is composition, if not a grand improvisation captured in a snapshot?.
I am a firm advocate for creative conducting, so I encourage you to experiment with changes in tempi to segue between themes, and/or to take musical liberty with the actual transitions between the themes, as long as there is still a feeling of forward momentum.If you want to fulfill the theatricality of the score, it would be fabulous to look at the audience (with a raised eyebrow, or a smile on your face, or whatever facial expression you think suits these moments in the score) at m. 14 and again at m. 21.In addition, it will help to conduct with wider gestures when themes change or the volume suddenly drops or swells. This will help the audience understand that these sudden changes between themes or dynamics are intended and will also help the students highlight those spots (particularly across the complex thematic shifts between mm. 62 and 94).The grandiosity from m. 110 through the end can be pushed to its zenith, particularly if you control prior forte settings such that the end gets the grand push.CAS91FThemes in String Dreams include:1.

I wrote this piece with a darker sonority and an emphasis on lyricism, qualities that I associate with the viola. In the first movement, titled Fantasia, the viola begins with a quiet and free cadenza, becoming more passionate until the woodwinds join in dialogue with the soloist. Gradually the rest of the orchestra enters, exploring ideas from the solo cadenza while introducing a new theme that reappears in the last movement. The second movement is a scherzo, mischievous in mood with the orchestra and viola trading barbed jokes. The antics are interrupted by a brass chorale with embellishment from the viola. The scherzo then resumes with prominent contributions from the bassoons. The last movement, titled Nocturne, plays with different kinds of music associated with the night. A sensual and romantic atmosphere gives way to something more menacing and ultimately violent. After a climax from the full orchestra, soft strings and solo viola lead us into the coda, taking an ambiguous idea from the first movement and transforming it into a lyrical and heartfelt prayer. The concerto ends with the solo viola ascending on the crest of an orchestral wave of sound.
