Interrupted Slumber was written in January of 2024 for Hillary Herndon and Jorge Variego. The work’s title sums up the main premise of its contents. With jarring twists and turns, the piece tells a tale of a rather sleepless night. Just as things appear to settle and drift off, sound sleep is snatched away again, and then again. A comical chase ensues; the greater the effort made, the more sleep seems to evade capture. With finite hours dwindling, one might finally decide to just get out of bed.
