Bemerkung: Neben der Orchesterversion und einer Version fĂŒr BlĂ€serensemble existiert das Werk auch als Ballett:Little Nemo in Slumberland is a ballet for orchestra inspired by the groundbreaking early 20th C. comic strip by Winsor McCay. The work depicts Little Nemo's dream-adventures and the Slumberland characters he encounters. This tonal / modal composition is very melodic and contrapuntal (even featuring a fugue), and unfolds like a series of variations. The music is, alternatively, noble, comical, lyrical, and generally expressive. http://library.newmusicusa.org/library/composition.aspx?CompositionID=67927
