Published by Wingert-Jones Publications (WJ.3018721). UPC: 822424044282. 9 x 12 inches.Nikola Tesla was one of history's greatest inventors. Tesla's Dream begins with a soft, contemplative flute solo, backed by gentle mallet percussion as though we are witness to his "lucid dreaming," which he believed was the source of his most creative ideas. This theme is repeated, growing to a full ensemble impact which represents the moment of creation and inspiration coming to fruition. The music then becomes faster, with strong Eastern European overtones that reflect his Serbian heritage. The initial tranquil flute melody gradually transforms into a frenetic dance, symbolizing Tesla's many wide-swinging moods and colorful eccentricities.
