This work for large ensemble started with a fragment of music I remembered from a dream I had. It was a repeating pattern of just a few measures that remained in my head long enough for me to write it down. I had just attended the first "Minimalist Jukebox" festival at the Los Angeles Philharmonic, and because of that minimalism was much on my mind. This piece has taken many formats, but Sinfonia is by far the grandest.
