PROGRAM NOTE:
Commissioned and premiered by Modern Sound Collective in 2022, Too Still for Dreams draws its inspiration from several poems by Canadian writer A.E. Wetherald. In these texts, Wetherald reveals a deep sense of awe and mysticism towards the forest world. When writing the music, I imagined the narrator taking a slow, cautious walk in the woods at dusk, eventually succumbing to the eerie stillness of the environment and entering into a state of transcendence and reverence for nature.
