A New Dawn Classical

A New Dawn Classical"A New Dawn" is a lilting and joyful work that celebrates new life, growth, and new beginnings. Written by Lorrie Baum in a Neoclassical style, this melodic piece spreads the wealth among the different sections of the orchestra, giving everyone a chance to shine. Weaving back and forth between the main theme and more lyrical sections in the relative minor key, "A New Dawn" winds up on a positive note with the final recapitulation of the main theme.
