Rounded with a Sleep is a one-piece composition for the Fanfare Orchestra in where the soprano saxophone plays a feature role. The title is derived from Shakespeare’s play, The Tempest in which one of the main characters says: We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep. This quote is a metaphor for the question: Who are we and what do we do here? The composition zooms in on the phenomenon of dreams, which incorporates a variety of moods, emotions and situations.
