Program Notes
Morning Reflection was written to honor the most peaceful time of the day. For many people, a sunrise, walk or quiet moment in the morning provides a sense of tranquility to commence a new day. This introspective work captures the unique sense of serenity that any quiet early moment can uniquely impart.
The primary theme in this composition is present in several sections of the ensemble and is closely intertwined with the inner voices to form the foundation of the harmonic structure. The harmonic content and motion, combined with the melodic shape, causes the piece to gradually unfold or blossom throughout its duration.
The work is dedicated to the composer’s wife, Debra.
