Inspired by the sun rising over Aegean Sea in Greece. “Silence, darkness, sun rises with a joyous song of praise, wanders golden way, sinks quietly into the 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 the sky.
