New Day, A
Caleb has created an original tone poem which reflects the course of a 24-hour day. It begins with 'Sunrise' with the sun quietly peeking over the horizon displaying its full power and glory, then leading into a calm 'Morning' which gains energy as it moves on to the 'Afternoon'. Of course, we all feel a bit of an energy slump in the afternoon and look forward to a calm 'Evening' and 'Nighttime' rest. The opening music returns announcing another "New Day".
This music is mostly Rung with nicely placed articulations which include LV, Mart, Mart-lifts, Sk and Table Mallets, plus a calm handchime section. Dynamics are critical throughout and really bring life to this unique and creative work.
