Spring morning, frost. Before others awake.

This evocative original work paints a soundscape of dawn breaking across a frosted spring landscape. Written for piccolo, three flutes, alto flute, and bass flute, the piece features overlapping melodic fragments that rise and recede, creating a shimmering texture that shifts from quiet stillness to radiant light.

With gentle lyricism and tonal harmonies, Spring Morning, Frost. Before Others Awake (Duration: 3:20) is both atmospheric and accessible, making it a beautiful addition to concert programs for advanced high school, college, professional, and community flute ensembles. It may be performed on its own, or paired with the companion piece Spring Morning, Mist Rising (Duration: 4:50) for a longer, unified set.
