A somewhat lengthy piece with many recurring themes that hardly recur in exactly the same way.
[the following is copied and pasted from my main page] As a composer, I'm pretty much a composer on the side. When I have an idea, I write it down and go with it, but I don't focus all my musical energy into being a composer. I actually go through phases, or "seasons" as I would call if, of composing. I may compose very solidly for a few months on end and then not compose a thing for months on end. I am very much passionate about the compositions I do write. I also begin virtually every composition with pencil and staff paper, only transferring it onto an electronic medium (such as MakeMusic(tm)/Finale(tm)) as it becomes a finished product.

Story behind the song
This piece is named as such because that is precisely what it did. As I was sleeping, I heard the first four measures of the melody line (with a forgotten accompaniment) vividly in a dream, and at the end of the fourth measure I was propelled into a wide awake state in my bed, almost instantaneously sitting up in bed. "I have to write this down!" With that opening melody line still fresh in my head, I continually and intently hummed it to myself (before it could have a chance to fade) as I rushed to get blank staff paper and turn on my keyboard. Four months later I finished it, and here it is.
