Finalist in the Casey Philharmonic Composer Competition.

And All the Enchanted Realm of Dream is an orchestral re-imagining of Claude Debussy’s Clair de Lune (English: Moonlight) from Suite bergamasque (1905), and a reaction piece to Walter de la Mare’s poem Sleep. Its title is taken from the penultimate line of Sleep which, in whole, drives the narrative of the piece as an elaboration on Debussy’s title Moonlight. The thematic foundations of And All The Enchanted Realm of Dream, are built from a few hand-picked motifs from Debussy’s original work.
