An impressive programmatic work by Australian composer Graham Lloyd that depicts a relaxing day on the Gold Coast of Australia. Starting out just before dawn and continuing until the darkness following the sunset, this breathtaking and colorful composition is an outstanding choice for mature band. Very highly recommended.

Le Rossignol or the Nightingale is originally a vocalise for Soprano solo from Saint-Saen's incidental music for the play, Parysatis written in 1902. This 4-5 minute work is all about mood.
Mr. Sauer uses the original key of B-flat, which lays perfectly for all of the bird-like calls that are in phrases which are slurred. The music has a lot of ad lib. tempo sections which gives the performer plenty of time to create that magic call of the Nightingale. Early writers thought it was the female that sang, but in fact it is the male. The Nightingale usually sings at night or just before dawn when other birds are silent and has a strong spontaneous song with an impressive range of trills and whistles.

Blessed Dawn, created by award-winning songwriter Tony Wood, with narration by Dr. Heidi Petak and arrangements and orchestrations by Daniel Semsen, is one of the most profound and provocative Easter musicals in recent history.Just as the songs portray a landscape of both old and new, the landscape of performance levels found in Blessed Dawn range from the intuitive and accessible to the moderately challenging. Conceptually, the musical strikes tones of great emotion and high celebration, voiced alongside notes of the sorrow, reverence and suffering portrayed in the Passion of the Christ. This new work calls out to those who hear it, urging that you present it with great focus and a special commitment to sharing the message of the Gospel and the power of His resurrection. We pray a special blessing on you and your choir, orchestra, soloists, narrators and media teams, as you present the story of Easter in...Blessed Dawn.Song Titles: The Life * Resurrection Hymn Medley includes Christ the Lord Is Risen Today, He Lives and Crown Him with Many Crowns * Wondrous Cross (Underscore 1) * Cross of Christ * It Was Finished (Underscore 2) * The Day Before * Then Came the Morning * Blessed Dawn of Easter's Day with Alleluia!

Uhtceare for Flute, Percussion, Violin and Cello. Composed 2014, published 2016. Score included in UYMP's Firewheel Anthology (ISMN M-57036-615-6), recorded by Dark Inventions. Duration: 8'30. Uhtceare is an Old English word meaning ‘anxiety before dawn’ surely a familiar experience to many, not just the Anglo-Saxons. I particularly associate it with the half-awake, early-morning asthma attacks that I had as a child. The piece starts in a nocturnal, dreamlike state with chords that pulse gently, like the rise and fall of breaths. These swelling patterns become increasingly fraught, while soloists sporadically emerge with a sense of urgency, and culminate in a loud, chaoticpassage where the percussionist moves from tuned Percussion to Drums. Following this, the Flute plays agile, looping figures that are soon mimicked by the Violin and then the Vibraphone. These figures are frenetic but harmonically static, so that when all three instruments are playing them simultaneously, there is a whirlwind of activity that paradoxically seems to remain stationary. I thought this was a fitting musical analogue for the fruitless but insistent circling of anxious early-morning thoughts. A dramatic Cello solo interrupts these imitative cycles and leads the ensemble in a cacophonous final crescendo. Commissioned by Dark Inventions and first performed by them on 8th May 2014 at The Engine House, Manchester.

The saying 'It is always darkest before the dawn' is the inspiration of this piece. The piece begins with the soloist playing the slow sorrowful melody as the piano pans a heavy chord progression. This progression is the basis of the theme and variations that follow. As the piece develops, the soloist and the accompaniment try to escape the distress and grief. Just as it seems as if there is no end to the suffering, the soloist pushes through the busy accompaniment and breaks free from the chains of its depression. The opening melody is now played in a major key in the upper register of the instrument, showing that a silver lining has been found, hope prevails and a new day has risen..
