The following paragraphs are notes from the composer.
Dreadnought: a total absence of fear * invincible * a name given to a class of heavily armed battleships in the early part of the 20th Century. These are feelings and images I had in mind as I composed this music for concert band.
This piece is essentially informed by the lessons provided by my two small children who were one year (Ronan) and three years (Adelle) at the time I started this composition. Ronan had no fears. It was something of which he had no concept. He would happily walk in front of a bus or get in a cage with a tiger.
Adelle was inventing new fears daily, trying them on, discarding some, keeping others. How did she decide these things? Where do we get our fears? What if most of our fears are invented? What if fear is a lie? What would the music sound like?
