Dream Catcher

"Dream Catcher" is a piece written for young band by Richard Hembree. Although it has not been published, the work was a finalist in the 2nd International Frank Ticheli Composition Competition in 2008.
 * The piece depicts the peaceful sleep cycle of an innocent child. It is 3 minutes and 20 seconds long.
 * The main motive is a series of eighth note pairings that are traded off betwen different parts. The notable feature of each eighth pairing is that the downbeat contains a type of dissonance provided by the eighth, while the upbeat contains the resolution.
 * The piece was written in a single night, merely hours afte Richard Hembree was told of the composition contest.
