This piece is inspired by the miracle of daybreak. It’s a beautiful thing to see the sun shine over the horizon and through the clouds. This event of the next day, whether it’s sunny or cloudy, facilitates new opportunities but also many challenges. For some, the next day can mean hope, a better life and a better time. For others, it can mean another day of hardship, anguish, and pain. This piece explores the possibilities of the sun shining through into the next day and all that it may entail. This piece also represents the metaphor of shining through some of your toughest moments with an overwhelming burst of positivity. You’ll experience isolated parts, solos, intense harmonies, loud ensemble moments, colorful percussion, tempos that push you, tempos that pull you, and so much more.
