Dreamcatcher

The tradition of a «dreamcatcher» is an ancient one, dating back to the Celtic and Native American cultures, where soft branches of oak or willow were formed into a circle and used as a base for a web of feathers, leaves and twine. This natural net would «capture» ideas, dreams and visions and allow the dreamers to achieve their dreams and goals. This magical dreamcatcher also provided a unique protection during sleep: filtering out the bad dreams and retaining the pleasant, positive ones. We`ve thought of this piece as a lullaby, since a lullaby can soothe us to sleep and be, in turn, a musical «dreamcatcher». Scored and conducted by John Tate.

Lyrics by Nikki Matheson

Hear my silent prayer
Heed my quiet call
When the dark and blue surround you
Step into my sigh
Look inside the light
You will know that I have found you
