About

The Sleep of Reason takes its name from a print by Goya. While the resonances of the full quotation from Goya - "The sleep of reason brings forth monsters" - might be seen to have wide ranging political and religious implications today, one could just ask the question - is this a piece of music conceived and articulated without reason? and if so - is it a monster?
