Dawn
Dawn is a piece for SATB + piano accompaniment, set to the poem of the same name by Francis Ledwidge. It embodies sounds that have always felt pastoral and serene to me, creating a constantly fleeting landscape that finally settles down before questioning in a new direction.

Dawn
Quiet miles of golden sky,
And in my heart a sudden flower.
I want to clap my hands and cry
For Beauty in her secret bower.
Quiet golden miles of dawn—
Smiling all the East along;
And in my heart nigh fully blown,
A little rose-bud of a song.
Francis Ledwidge (1916)
