Daystream Dances

For Oboe and Piano.

This exuberant set showcases the abilities of both pianist and soloist. Rolling Brightness is a rollicking and upbeat dialogue between the soloist and piano. Its soaring lines and frequent key changes give it a playful character. Reeling Dusk is a headlong rush into a whirl of sound and sense. The unusual meter signature of 11/8 creates a slightly off-kilter sway.  Rhythmic complexities lead to a dramatic cadenza before returning to the opening theme and meter.
