Nantucket Dreaming

In 2002, Carson Cooman began a series of musical compositions deeply connected to the landscape of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts. Although each piece is an individual work, certain attributes are shared among them, and when completed, the entire cycle could be performed as an evening-length work.

Works completed at the present time are:

• Coatue Dreaming (2002) for trumpet
• Polpis Dreaming (2002) for contrabass saxophone or contrabassoon and piano
• Sankaty Dreaming (String Quartet No. 4) (2002)
• Cisco Dreaming (2004) for cello
• Dionis Dreaming (2004) for two guitars
• Madaket Dreaming (2008) for piano
• Miacomet Dreaming (2008) for orchestra
• Nobadeer Dreaming (2008) for flugelhorn
• Coskata Dreaming (2008) for bass trombone and piano
• Shawkemo Dreaming (2009) for string orchestra
• Quidnet Shadows (2009) for flugelhorn and harp
