This Soprano Art Song, inspired by the works of Joseph Schwantner, weaves together colorful harmonies and gripping lyrics. The title, Son Rise, is a play on words; the lyrics comprise a comparison and contrast between a physical sunrise and the “Son Rise,” the raising of the Son of God from the dead. While the beauty and wonder of both events is contemplated, there is also a reflection upon man’s wickedness in worshipping the physical sun instead of the Son of God, who is the creator of all that is seen.
