Beginning softly, as if awaiting first light, the work builds as shafts of brilliant sun dramatically break through to display the awesome wonder of an extraordinary place. An energetic piano accompaniment supports the lush and lyrical choral parts that portray the beauty of this natural wonder known the world over.
