Edge of Dawn

Kelly, Nicholas Ryan - Lone Moose Music
Icon A cappella Publisher Desc.  Appropriate for a "darkness and light" theme, this piece is based on the second half of a poem by Lola Ridge. In the first half (not included in this composition), the speaker has gone out into the mountains at night in an emotionally dark state. In the second half of the poem (the basis for this piece), dawn starts to break around them and the natural world slowly comes alive--bringing the speaker out of themselves and into the world. While it was written for a concert themed around "darkness into light"--and it certainly would fit on such a program--I consider this piece to be more about resilience than optimism or hope. The natural world in this piece is not conventionally pretty--it's cold and raw and full of (among other things) spiders--but it is persistent and irrepressibly alive, and I think this in itself merits the radiance of the piece's climax.
