Description:
The Celtic hymn Morning Has Broken is used as thematic material for this vivid depiction of sunrise on the Scottish landscape. A lush and serene opening with optional flute solo depicts the quiet calm just moments before dawn. A building fanfare ushers in the rising sun, reaching its peak just as the sun breaks through in full glory. The opening strains of the hymn are stated by various sections as a lilting original jig adds to the festive atmosphere, bursting forth together for a rollicking conclusion.
