Program Note

a thing of dream and mist was inspired by Conrad Aiken’s poem “Nocturne of Remembered Spring,” which deals with nostalgia and the changing nature of memory. My overall intention was not to set this poem in a programmatic sense, but rather I sought to explore and respond to its rich atmosphere and vivid imagery. Throughout the piece, I continuously revisit and recontextualize the melodic phrase heard at the opening through techniques like fragmentation, expansion, and embellishment. The electroacoustic music at times seamlessly blends in with the acoustic material, while at other times, it provides a distinct sonic and textural counterpoint.
