Dawn

SATB a cappella choir - 2 minutes - medium difficulty

Paul Laurence Dunbar's short, beautiful description of a sunrise was the basis for this love letter to my amazing spouse and partner, Kelsey. Daybreak is a glorious moment we're gifted time and time again. My hope was to capture a bit of that glory in song.


Dawn

An angel, robed in spotless white,
Bent down and kissed the sleeping Night.
Night woke to blush; the sprite was gone.
Men saw the blush and called it Dawn.
- Paul Laurence Dunbar (1872-1906)
