This would have been a great song if I was able to hear it...seriously, there is no need to play in pianisisisissimo for longer than about 8 counts, much less 3 minutes.
Hello everyone, this is Steven Bryant, the composer of Suite Dreams. I just posted a new recording + video score on my YouTube page, if you're curious. Thanks to everyone on here who's played the piece and enjoyed it! Best wishes!
we played this and the audience was so confused, especially at the end; everyone had their instrument down but we were humming the last note so there was still the clarinets' last note ringing. it's my favorite piece that i have played
I just performed this piece 5 hours ago at the NSBA inter-collegiate honor band... Man, that's some good writing. For two composers to write so differently, so far apart, and to have a piece combine their ideas is just incredible.
Our conductor is a good friend of Bryant's... Apparently Steven's not a very organized guy. Sent the wrong version of the score to the conductor, all sorts of things that had been changed on his score but not in our parts. Ah well, it was fantastic. Bravo!
@TBMfan92 Actually the entire piece is a "dream like fantasia" of the Chaconne from First Suite in Eb. Mostly the inverted chaconne towards the middle of the movement.
I didn't like playing this at first, but it's growing on me...

@hornattack 1: I'm sure this is Bowling Green Wind Ensemble. This recording is even on Steven Bryant's website. Beautifully played.

Had the pleasure of performing this piece during a USC band clinic, and actually working with Bryant on his composition. Awesome experience.

Thats the point, its an inversion, he didnt steal it, he made it a masterpiece in a newer form
