Yosemite Sunrise

A beautifully descriptive work inspired by dawn at Yosemite National Park. The opening is slow and calm, before dawn has arrived, with repeated marimba sounds giving the promise of a new day. Gradually, new instruments add life to the music as the sun enters in full majesty. The music then becomes faster and louder with the sun in full ascent while the magic of Yosemite achieves its full splendor.
