Richard Cameron-Wolfe

Mute Hand Muse [For A Waking Dreamer]

Mute Hand Muse [For A Waking Dreamer]

Soprano, Alto Flute (doubling Bass Flute), and Piano

Composer's Note:
What if the distinction that we make between waking and dreaming were an artificial construct? To what extent could/do these states interpenetrate? Might they constitute an unbearable, inescapable non-binary continuum for Her (the micro-opera's sole protagonist)? Or, might the "laws" of the dream-state serve to liberate Her from imprisonment in the limitations of the waking world? The composer's own dream, described in the micro-opera's final "scene", has been with him in that waking world ever since he dreamed it, superimposing its Escher-esque geometry upon his perception of reality.

Authored (or revised): 2016

Duration (minutes): 9

First performance: October 23, 2015 at Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, California [Stephanie Aston, soprano; Rachel Rudich, flutes; Gayle Blankenburg, piano]
