SUNRISE by Jan Pavel (1946-2010) is like vibrating rays of light as represented by the opening 3/4 section to a 2/4 section and then back to 3/4 with modulations. This work is a delicate caricature, beginning and building with solo/soli action in a very sensitive and sensible manner. Melodic lines flow weightlessly as early morning rays of sun shine and then combine in intensity as if into a vivid ball of fire. This 3-minute work possesses a beautiful flavor of drama and sunshine! Concert Band. Score. Grade: 3-4 Duration: 3:00
