Echoes of Forgotten Dreams was composed for James Pellerite and the Madison Flute Choir and represents the latest in a series of compositions that features the Native American Flute with an ensemble of modern instruments. As in previous compositions of the series in an attempt at a fusion of the two worlds, a lyrical penatonic melodic quality enriched by characteristic Natvie American ornaments are combined with a chromatic, polytonal harmonic language in the ensemble. Much the delicate, wistful nature of the music is enhanced by the combination of low flutes with the Native flute.
