Everything
I Thought I Wanted was
composed Fall 2022
through Spring 2023, when
I was musing (perhaps
more than usual) about my
childhood wishes and
dreams and trying to
translate some of those
musings into music. Full
disclosure: this is an
assignment I typically
give my composition
students; maybe I thought
I’d try my own
assignment. Sonically,
this influenced the
choice of
instrumentation, and led
to the inclusion of the
toy piano, kalimba,
glockenspiel, and
crotales into the
ensemble. Individual
movements initially had
specific impressionistic
titles, though I removed
them after they were
completed, hoping to
inspire more open-minded
listening and personal
imagery. I am deeply
grateful to Doug Perkins,
who organized the
wonderful consortium of
percussion studio
teachers around the US to
co-commission the
work.
