At Dawn

Description

At Dawn, beautifully crafted for treble choir with piano and optional violin, celebrates the awe-inspiring beauty of a sunrise. The piece contrasts the excitement of nature anticipating the dawn—reflected in shifting tonalities of the verses—with the steady, regal arrival of the sun in the refrain. A soft Latin text builds to a triumphant three-part C major chord, musically depicting the sunrise’s grandeur. The piano part alternates between strength and a harp-like delicacy, enhancing this vivid and uplifting portrayal of dawn’s arrival.
