A DREAM SEQUENCE came about 3 or 4 years ago after listening to an orchestral concert on TV of mainly progressive music. I could not sleep that same night as my mind was in turmoil thinking how I could get away from writing ‘safe’ traditional music for lower section bands. My mind came up very quickly with some ideas which I translated into brass band idiom, hence the work A Dream Sequence, which does not stray all that much from traditional writing, but is certainly a different style for me as a composer.
