for wind quintet
ca. 7’00”
Sleep On It (2018) is a piece for woodwind quintet that took inspiration from the lullabies my mother sang me to sleep with when I was a child, and, as I got older, the way my mind would race whenever I tried to fall asleep. Every time I tossed and turned on my bed, I remember how simple it was for sleep to come whenever my mother sang me stories of simple life or when she imitated the sounds of a heartbeat. As I reminisced, my intrusive thoughts will, slowly but surely, slip away as I drift into unconsciousness.
