The dreamcatcher is said to have originated with the Oneida Indians of the northern woodlands, although many tribes have a similar legend.  A dreamcatcher may be described, generally, as a circular or oblong hoop, the inside of which is filled with an intricately woven web with a hold in the center.  A dreamcatcher is hung, so that it may move freely in the night air, over the bed of a child to catch dreams, both good and bad, as they float by.  Good dreams know the way and slip through the hole.  They slide down so softly that often the sleeping child doesn't even know that he or she is dreaming.  Bad dreams, not knowing the way, become entangled in the webbing and perish with the first light of the new day.  "Dreamcatcher" is shaped into four large sections, delineated by tempo.  The third section is a variation of the pitch material of the first section, and the fourth section is an expansion of the principal ideas of the second section.  The piece closed with a brief coda recalling the opening moments.  "Dreamcatcher" was written in 1994.
