Acadia First Light

Acadia First Light sensitively conveys the rising sun as it first greets America each morning on Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park in Maine. Written in celebration of that park's centennial, this enchanting piece provides an opportunity for young string players to musically express the magic of dawn on the mountain, of light sparkling on the ocean, of swelling seas as a squall approaches, and of the returning calm as the light recedes.
