PROGRAM NOTE
One lucky month before being asked to compose this work, I had six or seven versions of one of my favorite dreams; finding that the house I live in, or have just moved into, contains scores more rooms than I knew, many of them vast and connecting to meadows, concert halls, shopping malls, ballrooms, and beaches. Sleep.House.Field. relates to these dreams and – as could be expected – takes its formal structure from Debussy's trio; the urtext for all works for this instrumentation.
