“On My Dreams” was commissioned by my hometown high school choir, under the direction of my high school choir conductor, Cindy Peterson, for their annual POPS concert. To fit into that concert, I wanted to ensure that the melody was easily singable and was infused with elements of pop music. The challenging and rhythmic piano part provides a groove underneath that can be heightened by the addition of a trap set. High school choirs really enjoy singing this piece, and the text is especially appropriate for the end of the school year.
