Synopsis

for tenor solo and SATB unaccompanied
This is a poignant evocation of morning, opening and closing with a delicate, folk-like melody in the solo part supported by hums and vocalizing. A central episode is more urgent and uses dance rhythms. Despite the divisi in all parts the pieces is surprisingly easy to prepare, making it accessible to school choirs.
