Abstract

“To a Land of Sleep and Dreams” (Nocturne) was composed for my youngest nephew Wyatt. The Nocturne was composed for him as a song that he can listen to at the end of the day before bed as a calming method. The Nocturne uses augmented chords with stable harmonic resolutions that bring a calm feeling to the evening bedtime experience. I wrote the Nocturne with neuroscience in mind, knowing that after babies listen to music, their prefrontal cortex activity looks different.
