Madaket Dreaming - Sheet Music for Piano Solo Carson P. Cooman

Madaket Dreaming (2008) a nocturne for piano was written for and is dedicated to pianist,
conductor, and composer Max Lifchitz.

The title refers to Madaket, a region of Nantucket Island, Massachusetts on its Western side with
beaches that experience particularly impressive summer sunsets. This work is one of a variety of
pieces connected to the landscape of Nantucket.

The work is a lyric nocturne, unfolding a series of melodic ideas derived from the opening
harmonies. The goal is reached at the end&mdash,a brief, warm chorale-like texture that fades away into
the closing sonorities.
