Alfred Acadia First Light Conductor Score 2.5

This work sensitively conveys the rising sun as it first greets America each morning on Cadillac Mountain at Acadia National Park. Written by Andrew H. Dabczynski in celebration of that park's centennial, this enchanting piece provides an opportunity for ng string players to musically express the magic of dawn on the mountain, of light sparkling on the ocean, of swelling seas as a squall approaches, and of the returning calm as the light recedes. "Acadia First Light" will transport players and audiences alike to Acadia, that treasured national gem. (3:30)
