Morning light quietly emerges between the water and the mist.
A short, simple work for orchestra.
About the Work
This work began as Green Time, a piece for flute and string quintet.
While orchestrating the piece, a G in the horn evoked an image of the rising sun.
From there, the character of the work gradually became clearer, eventually leading to the title Sunrise.
