Promise of a New Sunrise

With a glorious new sunrise soon to be born, this spectacular festival piece blossoms with all the brilliance of a new sunlit day. A broad and powerful fanfare-like opening quickly subsides into a simple lonely trumpet melody. As the phrase builds, woodwinds and brass are added, providing active countermelodies and beautiful harmonic progressions. The conclusion restates the original melody in rhythmic half time with percussion fueling the energy for a dramatic finish.
