Program note
The inspiration for electric blue pantsuit came from a dream fragment, in which I am watching a crowded, noisy cocktail party take place, and a friend (a dream friend – the ones we recognize in our dreams but have never met in real life) emerges from the crowd wearing a glowing bright blue pantsuit. This image has stayed with me for years, and for me the music expands upon that scene, as if the violin is dreaming about a celebration in which it is talking to friends, meeting new people, engaging in animated discussions and dancing.
