Notes
Honeymoon is a trumpet concerto exploring dreamlike states.
The music moves between two realms: one shadowed by solitude and longing, the other full of sweetness and light. The worlds intertwine and are never fully separate. Fragments of what is longed for, or perhaps remembered, fleet by - joy, tenderness, passion, and euphoria.
When the dream dissolves, a quiet light remains.
