'The first book of The Enchanted
Garden was composed in 1992; the
five preludes in that cycle were
musical responses to dreams that I
had and had eventually written
about. The second book, written
nearly seventeen years later in 2009,
includes seven preludes; experiences
and memories both recent and
historical are the sources here and
the origins of the titles. The fine line
between dream and memory,
between reality and fantasy has
always intrigued me. The ancient
Greeks believed that the 'real'
world was the unseen world.'
