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.
