For SATB Voices a cappella
By Ian David Coleman

In my setting I wanted, at the outset of this piece, to evoke the mysterious nature of dreams as they take shape by utilizing a free, 'timeless' metrical feel. This section moves to a more defined statement of the first verse, followed by a repeated ostinato in the lower voices over which the sopranos float musical ideas, reflecting in their mild dissonance a frozen landscape. This resolves into a final restatement of the opening and comes to rest on the final chord - a major seventh - which has an inherent slight dissonance and thus suggests the dream is still to be fully realized.
