Daydream

Description

Shulamit Ran’s DAYDREAM is a dramatic, far-reaching fantasy in miniature form. “DAYDREAM is structured as a series of ever-expanding cycles of activity,” writes the composer, ”evolving from the languid, almost suspended-in-the-air character of the opening, to the far more passionate, ‘heroic’ and ‘ferocious,’ peaks. At its conclusion, the piece seems to evaporate into a brief reverie, reminicent of Chopin.” Players and listeners alike will be entranced by the music’s shimmering textures and surprising turns.
