Inspired by a sunrise over the water in the composers home state of Florida, "At Sunrise" includes a beautiful and memorable melody moving amidchanging textures and harmonies, leading to a magnificent full ensemble . It begins gently, with a transparent quality to portray the first signs of light. Breathtaking colors then unfold with the rich, lyric sounds presented here with uncommon sensitivity, leading to a dramatic final climax. From here, the work subsides, ending as it began, leaving a spell not soon forgotten. Ideal for concert and festival use, this is lyric music of the highest quality!
