Powerful forces in everyone's life, dreams have been the inspiration for a multitude of composers and many legendary compositions. In this concert inspired by dreams, the Dartmouth Wind Symphony performs music by master composers of the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries. Included are Bugler's Dream Fanfare, the 1968 Olympic theme music; Dream Journey by contemporary American composer James Barnes; a modern, swing arrangement of Debussy's Reverie; The Vision, the first movement of David Gillingham's Apocalyptic Dreams, based on the Book of Revelation; Franz Lizst's sweet Dreams of Love; and Berlioz' Dream of a Witches' Sabbath, the fifth movement of his ominous Symphony Fantastique. And for a spectacular finale: a musical offering based on the immortal words of Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., I Have a Dream. Orchestrated for wind symphony, with narration by Dartmouth's renowned Professor William Cook, this seminal speech and accompanying music performed by the DWS—along with the Dartmouth Chamber Singers and Gospel Choir—create a majestic and memorable Hopkins Center moment.
