Coast of Dreams (2014) is a musical tribute to early Los Angeles, in two movements. Inspiration came when I visited El Alisal, a rustic home built by Charles Lummis in the late 1800’s, located in Arroyo Seco in Northeast Los Angeles. Lummis was a Los Angeles Times journalist, an Indian rights activist, a historian, photographer, and all around Southern California guru. When at El Alisal, I discovered one of the first Southern California lifestyle magazines, Land of Sunshine, published by Lummis beginning in the late 19th century. I began to hear a composition for orchestra in two movements as an emotional, cultural and musical exploration of this romantic vision of Southern California.
