Classical music inspired by the one & only – SUN.
Haydn – String Quartets Op. 20 ‘Sun’
‘Sun quartets’ gave Haydn his great success. Sensational composition.
Bruckner – Symphony No. 4
Bruckner’s most popular work, Symphony No. 4 is called ‘Romantic’ symphony.
Edvard Grieg – Peer Gynt Op. 23 ‘Morning Mood’
Lyrical alternating flute, oboe melodies slowly unfold the magnificent climax in which sun rises in sky.
Richard Strauss – Four Last Songs
Iconic piece of music, poignant in many ways. Emotional effect of beautiful sun setting over an enduring horizon.
Neilson – Helios Overture
Inspiration was sun rising over Aegean Sea in Greece,”Silence, darkness, sun rises with a joyous song of praise, wanders golden way, sinks quietly into sea.”
Ferde Grofe – Grand Canyon Suite (Sunrise)
Sunrise opens to a world of bird calls, pastoral music. Flying like a bird, high over landscapes, catching thermals as sun rises in sky.
