Notes to Loved Ones, Music for Strings and Piano
An album of chamber works by Peter Dayton for mixed ensembles of Piano and Strings, to be released by Navonna Records, March 2018
Excerpt from the Liner Notes: "It is almost impossible for me to discuss my own music without making reference to a person or piece of art that was central to my music’s creation. Dedication, citation, attribution, these are all attitudes that punctuate my creative process with gratitude for the sources of my output. These pieces are not simply footnotes on the artwork, people, and experiences that have meant so much to me. The music, however, would not have been written without them. "
