Dreams by Ross Thompson

Ross Harvey Thompson
Original Guitar Works 2002

Dreams captures the music I sometimes hear only in sleep, fleeting melodies, vague harmonies, or colors that linger after dreams fade. These pieces grew from a desire to create a wide musical landscape for the guitar: percussive rhythms, dances, tremolos, arpeggios, sonata, and sonata-like structures.

Copies of the music score for Dreams are included with this recording.

English-born guitarist and composer Ross Thompson has performed worldwide, from Berlin to Seoul, Montevideo to Lima. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he teaches at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music. His work spans 15 books, 14 recordings.
