Classically trained in an era dominated by minimalism and pre-recorded tape, Stephen D. Forman chose pop accessibility instead.

Mr. Forman blends traditional formal structure and challenging contrapuntal writing with modern synthesizers and inventive orchestrations.

Rhapsody for Orchestra in C Major: "Desert Fancifal" includes the following inscription:

"A man crosses the desert, what does he find?

Blaring sun, shifting sands, yet also exquisite, serene beauty.

As thirst and exhaustion overtake him, he dreams sweetly of Arabian Nights, a genie, a princess, an oasis surrounded by palm trees.

He staggers to his knees-- is that salvation before him or only a mirage?"
