Composed during the time of the global 2020 coronavirus pandemic as a reflection on the seeming warping of time – with a continuous undercurrent of tragedy and uncertainty, mixed with cycles of waiting and moments of hope, the world seemed to blur through a dream fog of emotional responses, creative impulses and indistinguishable days. The music exerts a subtle pull of being drawn further, as through a tunnel, while sounds of the external world filter in as delicately disjointed echoes and reverberating rhythms. – RW
Reviews of Dreaming Through Fog
"Dreaming Through Fog” (2020), for small orchestra, was recorded by the Janáček Philharmonic. That Worthington is a master orchestrator is evident in all of her large works, but particularly so in this one. ... In this work, Worthington makes use of orchestral colors to explore an array of emotional complexities experienced during the pandemic autumn of 2020 – from feelings of stasis, to prolonged uncertainties and tensions, to tragedy and chaos mixed with fleeting glimpses of hopefulness. – Erica Lessie, IAWM Journal Vol 28 no4 2022
"Dreaming Through Fog” again makes great use of the Janáček Philharmonic Orchestra as much mystery surrounds the cautious landscape. – Take Effect music reviews
