Programme Notes:
The inspiration for this work is the cult alternative and ambient/dream pop music that I listened to in the early 1980's. The style is reflective and bucolic, with long, soaring melodies, often accompanied by simple open fifth harmonies.

"Mornwards, for soprano saxophone and piano, is the next selection. It is an excellent composition with broad sweeping themes that carry your imagination up and away on melodies with wings."
