I wanted to write a companion piece for Tiger Dancing, which was written for the choreographer Henri Oguike and his company. Although Eternity's Sunrise was written for the concert hall rather than the theatre, dance is a pervasive feature of the music, the ensemble plays almost throughout in rhythmic unison. The opening burst sets the stage for what follows and makes a short final return as a coda. The work last about sixteen minutes.Steve Martland.The work has a powerful impact on both players and audiences, it's high-voltage music requireing real stamina from the performers. Audences at the premiere and subsequent tour loved it and the work would make marvellous dance music.The title of this piece comes from lines by the visionary English poet William Blake: He who binds to himself a joyDoes the winged life destroy;But he who kisses the joy as it fliesLives in eternity's sunrise. Incidentally, this poem was on Stockhausen's desk for most of his working life, and his death occurred as Steve was writing the piece.

Sunrise was composed in August 2016 from a concert improvisation. The work is structured as a great crescendo. Although the title refers to the image of a sunrise, the music was not primarily conceived as program music. In one layer of the composition, motoric groups of motifs increasingly condense, beginning in a high register and constantly changing, whilst in a second layer a calm thematic idea is intensified and expanded in barely noticeable alterations. As well as the seamless crescendo from pianissimo to fortissimo, the work uses precisely-notated registrations of color, especially for parts where the chorale-like theme is written in chords in the middle and low registers. The resulting moments of luminescence are emphasized even more through a harmony with bitonally layered major chords. This work is also available on CD (Carus 83.485).

With a glorious new sunrise soon to be born, this spectacular festival piece offers flowing melodies accompanied by dynamic rhythms and lush harmonies. A broad and powerful fanfare-like opening quickly works into a simple lonely trumpet melody. As the phrase builds, woodwinds and brass are added providing interesting countermelodies and beautiful harmonic progressions. The conclusion restates the original melody but in rhythmic half time with percussion providing the energy for a dramatic finish. Promise of a New Sunrise is a perfect festival selection.

Inspired by a sunrise over the water in the composer's home state of Florida, At Sunrise includes a beautiful and memorable melody moving amid changing textures and harmonies, leading to a magnificent full ensemble. It begins gently, with a transparent quality to portray the first signs of light. Breathtaking colors then unfold with the rich, lyric sounds presented here with uncommon sensitivity, leading to a dramatic final climax. From here, the work subsides, ending as it began, leaving a spell not soon forgotten. Ideal for concert and festival use, this is lyric music of the highest quality!

Northwo ods Sunrise was inspired by visits to the beautiful north woods of Minnesota. This chart is a terrific way to introduce students to a contemporary straight eighth groove. A simple piano ostinato leads to a lilting melody and a solo section that features very simple chord changes. A contrapuntal shout section leads to the return of the original melody and piano ostinato. A terrific piece for teaching form and structure and a great addition to any program.
